If I understood you correctly you propose to use partition table
information to determine filesystem. I'm personally against it. First of
all it isn't portable - it probably wouldn't work on GPT. Second if you
just do mkfs.* the partition type isn't changed. Linux ignores
partition type and so

LILO or Grub Legacy. Please, if you have time, run an eye over it to
see if I have left anything out or given wrong instructions. I would be
happy, also, if you fe
