    Typo! should read "can't" , or "cannot have more than three primary
    partitions"

    Note that there is often some weirdness mounting windos partitions from
    un*x. My FBSD4.8 can't access a windos logical/extended partition,
    though in that condition windos is happy, but can access that same
    partition as primary, though windos then hides the partition(and I have
    to manually un-hide it).
    On another system, an extended partition is inaccessible as dos, but is
    seen fine by both winNT and Un*x as NTFS.
    Weird.
