Subject:   Problems mounting extended DOS partition

Hi,

I know that it shouldn't be hard, but I am unable to mount
my extended DOS partition from FreeBSD.  I don't have any
problem mounting my primary DOS partition.  Here's the message
that I get when I try to mount it:

# mount_msdos /dev/wd0s3 /dos
mount_msdos: /dev/wd0s3: Invalid argument

Here is the device entry:

brw-r-----  1 root  operator    0, 0x00040002 Mar 11 14:51 /dev/wd0s3

Here's what sysinstall says that I have:

Disk name:      wd0                                    FDISK Partition Editor
DISK Geometry:  1024 cyls/64 heads/63 sectors = 4128768 sectors

    Offset       Size        End     Name  PType       Desc  Subtype    Flags

         0         63         62        -      6     unused        0
        63     822465     822527    wd0s1      2        fat        6
    822528    1636992    2459519    wd0s2      3    freebsd      165    C
   2459520    1665216    4124735    wd0s3      4   extended        5

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Peter
