The 'active' partition is irrelevant to Linux.  Partitions are
partitions, and where you boot depends on where LILO or GRUB
think, not where the dumb DOS bootloader sees an active partition.

That and Linux has never subscribed to the idea that you should
be limited to seeing one primary partition at a time.  ;)
