FreeBSD can mount extended DOS partitions, but it cannot live inside of one. You can mount an extended partition as /usr, but it would be DOS. And that would break a lot of things that assume /usr is a UNIX-type (multiuser) FS. If you only have 4 partitions anyway, why not make them all 'real' ones. And finally, remember that multiple FreeBSD partitions can (and usually do) live within one DOS partition (or in FreeBSDese, 'slices'). -- Crist J.
