In fact - it may do the trick. Took a good 30 minutes, but I had

jo at ubuntu:~$ sudo ./gpart.linux /dev/hdb

Begin scan...
Possible partition(DOS FAT), size(517mb), offset(0mb)
Possible partition(Linux swap), size(86mb), offset(9711mb)
Possible partition(DOS FAT), size(9562mb), offset(9797mb)
Possible partition(DOS FAT), size(9264mb), offset(19359mb)
