you've used HDinsttools to stick the sfs l: file into the RDB of the disk
(adding filesystem type) and then you've changed its DOS-type to SFS0 (or
whatever the docs say) and then you've reformatted that partition and
re-copied the data back onto it, yes?

you have to format the partition, you cant just change the type of
filesystem on the fly....though a tool that could do THAT job would be
VERY VERY neat.
