Wait a minute...I thought the logical DOS drives within the extended partition
corresponded to slices 5 & up....as in...
C: wd1s1
Extended DOS partition: wd1s2
D: wd1s5
E: wd1s6
F: wd1s7
Third partition (FreeBSD, Linux, whatever): wd1s3
Fourth partition: wd1s4
I thought you had to go do
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV wd1s5h
./MAKEDEV wd1s6h
./MAKEDEV wd1s7h
to get the /dev files made them, too.
[Disclaimer...I missed the first part of this thread and I'm way behind
in my mailing list reading and I haven't had a need to mess with logical
partitions from a FreeBSD point of view for a while so reality may
vary...but I'm pretty sure that I've done the above at some point in the
past couple years...]
