See my other mail on the ext2 issue...
I noticed another annoying issue. win32 partitions are not marked 'LBA'
by default which is _very_ confusing for non-experts. And the Windows
(I tried 98) installer will give all sorts of misleading messages
("did you enable LBA for this hard disk?") and will not work.
So I suggest setting the LBA flag automatically for win32 partitions.
