	It's definitely possible to mount extended partitions.
Maybe you are not using the right name ?  DOS extended partitions
are mapped starting from ad0s5 on. If you include something like
what follows in your /etc/fstab (depending on the drives/slices
you have ) you should be able to mount them with 

# mount /dos
# mount /E

/etc/fstab:

/dev/ad0s5              /dos            msdos   rw,noauto       0       0
/dev/ad0s6              /E              msdos   rw,noauto       0       0
