Follow-up Comment #1:

I've committed documentation for the parttool command to 'info grub'.  Here's
the text:

 -- Command: parttool partition commands
     Make various modifications to partition table entries.

     Each COMMAND is either a boolean option, in which case it must be
     followed with `+' or `-' (with no intervening space) to enable or
     disable that option, or else it takes a value in the form
     `COMMAND=VALUE'.

     Currently, `parttool' is only useful on DOS partition tables (also
     known as Master Boot Record, or MBR).  On these partition tables,
     the following commands are available:

    `boot' (boolean)
          When enabled, this makes the selected partition be the active
          (bootable) partition on its disk, clearing the active flag on
          all other partitions.  This command is limited to _primary_
          partitions.

    `type' (value)
          Change the type of an existing partition.  The value must be
          a number in the range 0-0xFF (prefix with `0x' to enter it in
          hexadecimal).

    `hidden' (boolean)
          When enabled, this hides the selected partition by setting
          the "hidden" bit in its partition type code; when disabled,
          unhides the selected partition by clearing this bit.  This is
          useful only when booting DOS or Wwindows and multiple primary
          FAT partitions exist in one disk.  See also *note
          DOS/Windows::.
