One more thing, when I used parted and selected /dev/hda1 (or any partitions for
that matter), I get this:
Disk geometry for /dev/hda1: 0.000-2086.536 megabytes
Disk label type: loop
Minor Start End Filesystem Flags
1 0.000 2086.536 fat32
If you refer to the partition table produced by fdisk (ie. the correct one), you
would know that /dev/hda1 is indeed a 2GB fat32 partition, so parted is having
no troubles detecting the size and type of the partition. Yet, it did not show
the boot flag on the partition.
