Show us what fdisk and disklabel say. referring to my being unable to access ad0s2 from FBSD. The drive is partitioned DOS-DOS-FBSD. If I set up the partitions Primary1-Primary2-Primary3, WinNT "hides" Primary2, and I have to "unhide" using Partition Magic every time I boot into that hateful OS. However, I CAN acess Primary2 from FBSD. If I set up the partitions Primary1-Logical1-Primary2, WinNT is happy, but Logical1 cannot be mounted by FBSD. herewith details of the latter case: As you can see, fdisk can see the extended partition, but not the logical partition inside it.
