I missed the original posting (having just subscibed) so the original 
question is guessed at.

Have you looked at the command __labelit__??  At least on SysVR3.2 it is
described as providing a means of name filesystems on disk or tape(for
backups).  I do not expect this would work to name an fdisk partition,
but fdisk will usually give you a listing with the type (UNIX, DOS, XENIX
etc.) so it may not be necessary.
