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.
