It was created with fdisk of boot floppy (of woody, I guess).
Your suspicion might be correct. I remembered that when I
did "mke2fs /dev/sdb1" on running system it failed.
So I needed to boot with boot floppy to do "mke2fs /dev/sdb1"
However, 2.2.x kernel and 2.6.8 kernel seem to read
partition table correctly...
And this machine is one of two main machines so I wouldn't
like to re-partition /dev/sdb at present.
