 reasonable: yes. on the debian-lenny rootfs i installed parted.

 safe: no way to tell.  we really need to know the procedure that's
been executed under u-boot.  does it blow away the partitions? (does
anyone know a way to check - volume serial numbers for example?)  does
it merely reformat p2?

 y'know what: sod it, i'm going to try it.
