GPT partition table

Hey,

I just re-installed my Arch Linux to 64 bit and before that I was playing with FreeBSD and now seems that my GPT is out of any logic.. I'm using rEFIT to obtain a nice menu and I followed the Arch install for Macbook's where I found some steps of the wiki are not updated (for example, diskutil with Leopard can't create Linux partitions anymore). Btw.. Should I change it?

Well, the thing is that I can boot OSX and Arch perfectly but the only thing is that rEFIT shows me a BSD icon when I don't have any related partition. I would prefer do not play with the gpt command and then have to re-install everything again which is painful. Any idea??

Here is the GPT table:

Current GPT partition table:
 #      Start LBA      End LBA  Type
 1             40       409639  EFI System (FAT)
 2         409640     42090535  Mac OS X HFS+
 3       42090536     57812500  Linux Swap
 4       57812501    625142414  Basic Data

Current MBR partition table:
 # A    Start LBA      End LBA  Type
 1              1       409639  ee  EFI Protective
 2         409640     42090535  af  Mac OS X HFS+
 3       42090536     57812500  82  Linux swap / Solaris
 4 *     57812501    625142414  83  Linux

MBR contents:
 Boot Code: Unknown, but bootable

Partition at LBA 40:
 Boot Code: None (Non-system disk message)
 File System: FAT32
 Listed in GPT as partition 1, type EFI System (FAT)

Partition at LBA 409640:
 Boot Code: None
 File System: HFS Extended (HFS+)
 Listed in GPT as partition 2, type Mac OS X HFS+
 Listed in MBR as partition 2, type af  Mac OS X HFS+

Partition at LBA 42090536:
 Boot Code: FreeBSD
 File System: Unknown
 Listed in GPT as partition 3, type Linux Swap
 Listed in MBR as partition 3, type 82  Linux swap / Solaris

Partition at LBA 57812501:
 Boot Code: GRUB
 File System: ReiserFS
 Listed in GPT as partition 4, type Basic Data
 Listed in MBR as partition 4, type 83  Linux, active

Thanks
