Hmm... didn't think about that. I just subtracted 8G from original geometry...
What is internal block size on that device?

changing single partition ids with sfdisk can be done from cmdline, too.
I still thing good old fdisk is better since it is very visible what is going on with it. Don't like "magic numbers" style of sfdisk.

Maybe, but maybe not. With my approach, partition numbers for /home and swap are kept same as before, which may be safer against firmware upgrades.

Ok
I still replied here because I think it is better to reply on the same media where question was asked
