Hi all!
I`ve a problem with Extended Fat 32 partition. I use two OS on my PC -
Win2k Pro (drive C: and D:) and FreeBSD 4.4 RELEASE at the end of HDD
space with BootManager. So, drive C: - is primary DOS partition, drive
D: - is extended DOS partition. In BSD it looks so:

FDISK Partition Editor:
 Offset    Size(Mb)   End    Name  PType  Desc   Subtype Flags
       0      0          62    -     6   unused     0
      63    5004   10249469  ad0s1   2    fat      11
10249470    3004   16402354  ad0s2   4  extended    5
16402365    1717   19920599  ad0s3   3  freebsd   165       C
19920600      5    19932191    -     6   unused     0

FreeBSD Disklabel Editor:
Part      Mount     Size   Newfs
ad0s1   /mnt/win_c  5004Mb msdos
ad0s3a      /        100Mb  ufs
ad0s3b               259Mb  SWAP
ad0s3e     /var       20Mb  ufs
ad0s3f     /usr     1338Mb  ufs

When I`m trying to mount drive (D:) in FreeBSD with command
mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s2 /mnt/win_d
BSD prints such error message -
fixlabel: raw partition size > slice size
msdos: /dev/ad0s2: invalid argument
Dec 28 13:01:21 CyberSV/kernel: fixlabel: raw partition size > slice
size

My question: Does the FreeBSD support extended fat partition, and if
yes, what is wrong in my actions ? Because both disks C and D
perfactly works under Win.
