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...
