[TriLUG] setting the partition type?

[Chris Merrill]

I'm attempting to follow some instructions on creating a hibernation
partition for my Thinkpad.  The first part of the instructions say to
create a primary partition of the correct size, then set the partition
type to a0.

How is that done?  I'm using parted to create the partitions, but it
does not recognize type 'a0' - it gives me an error when I try to
create a partition or filesystem of that type.  So I assume there is
some other command I must use to set the partition type...anyone
know what that is?

TIA,
Chris
