Should the loader be able to understand ext2fs partitions within an extended
(type 4) partition? I have been trying this with a disk containing a suse 7.2
install (automatic) its fstab looks like this:

/dev/sda7       /       ext2    defaults 1 1
/dev/sda5       /boot   ext2    defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrom      /media/cdrom    auto    ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
devpts  /dev/pts        devpts  defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy   auto    noauto,user,sync 0 0
proc    /proc   proc    defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6       swap    swap    pri=42 0 0

setting currdev=disk1s[7|5] in the loader just produces errors (boot loader
from floppy, hence disk1 not disk0).

Is suse unique in installing everything this way by default?
