It's not intentional-- that's just the error message I get back. If I try to mount the partition I get this:
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount: /dev/sda5 is not a valid block device.
To me that means the filesystem is messed up, which is why I started messing with mac-fdisk. And at that point I got the error about it being a swap partition, even though it isn't and never has been.

If I could do that, I'd be a happy man. But /etc/fstab is on the partition I can't mount.
