Tried again. Two primary partitions, one 500Mb FAT16, one 3.5Gb ext2
created with linux mke2fs.

1. MiNT e2fsck doesn't like this partition and complain about a bad
superblock.
2. Write "large" (more than a couple of Mb) crashes my Firebee.
3. MiNT mke2fs doesn't want to init a partition on the Firebee. Maybe a
XHDI issue.
