Weird! The firmware is broken then, since DOS partition tables
have a separate flag for "bootable".

Anyway, looking at Andries' list at
http://www.win.tue.nl/math/dw/personalpages/aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html
it looks like this is a Windows 2000 thing.
Do you know any more about this?
Anyway, Parted can't manipulate the low-level partition type.
To manipulate this, we would need to add another flag, or
file system, or something.
