If your real desire is to have two primary DOS partitions, I can't help.
But if you really just want to see that extended partition from FBSD,
that I have figured out.
My fstab has the following line for "c:"
/dev/wd0s1 /c msdos rw 0 0
Getting "d:" took making a devive in /dev for wd0s5. As installed
(2.0.5R) the wd0s? stopped at 4. I did (as root) in /dev
MAKEDEV wd0s5
mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s5 /d
and there it was. I hade been trying all slices from 1 thru 9, but did
not realize that slices 5-9 did not have corresponding devices...
Good luck...
