Partition tables do not contain text. Each partition table has a numerical
ID which tells software which partition type is installed at the postion.
It could be that Partition Magic had a problem with the partition re-write
and the ID number was not updated correctly. Now, it turns out theID number
is the ID number "assigned" to Xenix.
