It's actually not necessary, make sure to use rootnoverify in the grub
menu instead of just root
If you do want to set the type to eb, I usually recommend using fdisk
- either run with sudo, or root privileges:
su fdisk /dev/sda
I think you use "t" to change the type of a partition, specify the
partition number, and type "eb" for the type code which corresponds to
the BeOS BFS type
Then you can use "w" to write the partition table back to disk...
Don't take my word for the above steps - fdisk has some help to
describe the commands in detail which you should become familiar with
first :)
