I mean I don't know if it's 0f (WIN95: Extended partition) or 85 (Linux:
Extended).  I don't know if it matters or not.  But now I have the details:

Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/hda8           16969       19457    19992861   83  Linux


Guess I was wrong: /dev/hda4 should have been /dev/hda3

So I guess it's different from 85
