output for parted 1.8.8 (or older releases)

Hello

Someone provided me with output for a parted v1.8.8 but the flags column looks 
very strange:

[...] Flags                            
[...] , , , , , , , , , type=82, ,     
[...] boot, , , , , , , , , type=83, , 

Can somebody else confirm this is really correct? In Volumes.pm for setup-
storage 1.5 there's an example for an even older parted 1.7.1 but the Flags 
column looks like parted 2.x:

$ /sbin/parted -s /dev/hda unit B print

Maybe it's kernel-related?
Or the above output is actually some other version?


Since FAI uses the parted provided by the NFS-root it's probably safe to 
ignore this oddity.

@Thomas L: What do you think about changing 'parted' into 'parted >=2.0' in 
the package dependencies for fai-setup-storage and ignore parted 1.x? Even 
Ubuntu 10.04 was shipping with 2.2.
