Follow-up Comment #1:
I've committed documentation for the parttool command to 'info grub'. Here's
the text:
-- Command: parttool partition commands
Make various modifications to partition table entries.
Each COMMAND is either a boolean option, in which case it must be
followed with `+' or `-' (with no intervening space) to enable or
disable that option, or else it takes a value in the form
`COMMAND=VALUE'.
Currently, `parttool' is only useful on DOS partition tables (also
known as Master Boot Record, or MBR). On these partition tables,
the following commands are available:
`boot' (boolean)
When enabled, this makes the selected partition be the active
(bootable) partition on its disk, clearing the active flag on
all other partitions. This command is limited to _primary_
partitions.
`type' (value)
Change the type of an existing partition. The value must be
a number in the range 0-0xFF (prefix with `0x' to enter it in
hexadecimal).
`hidden' (boolean)
When enabled, this hides the selected partition by setting
the "hidden" bit in its partition type code; when disabled,
unhides the selected partition by clearing this bit. This is
useful only when booting DOS or Wwindows and multiple primary
FAT partitions exist in one disk. See also *note
DOS/Windows::.
