I have a drive with an extented partition. In that partition
is a logical drive.
With DOS, it is D: ( lots of help)
With Linux, it is /dev/hda5
and Linux fdisk shows
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 1046 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot  Begin   Start     End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1          86      86    1023  472752    5  Extended
/dev/hda3   *       4       4      85   41328    6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda4           1       1       3    1480+   a  OS/2 Boot Manager
/dev/hda5          86      86    1023  472720+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M

What is the FreeBSD name for this region of the disk?

FreeBSD fdisk returns "partition 0" for the extended partition itself.

Thanks, Clarence Wilkerson
