I don't think so, AFAIK the FreeBSD fdisk does only show primary
partitions.

But you've been the guy with ``panic: cannot mount root'', haven't
you?  So the interesting lines must be to see when the panic happens.
I'm not interested (not as much) in all the kernel messages that
scroll by, only in that stuff that you can see at panic time.
Especially any complaints/errors just above the panic.
