They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

a little more info...
You created a partition of the type "linux", but it has not yet been formatted.  The command SU gave will format the partition with the ext2 filesystem.
