Hi,
How can I know if a partition is securely a PReP partition? Besides
check the partition type (41), is there another test that I can do to
confirm that?
At the page bellow are two other codes used for the same code of PReP (41):
http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html
41 Linux/MINIX (sharing disk with DRDOS)
41 Personal RISC Boot
41 PPC PReP (Power PC Reference Platform) Boot
What kind of checks can I do? Can I use the partition size or if it's
the first of the disk as parameters to check it?
Thanks,
