Can't mount ad0s2

Slice 2 on ad0 is a DOS extended partition.
I have tried to mount this partition (or to be more accurate the logical
partition inside that extended partition) using every combination of -t
xxx and /dev/ad0sn I could think of that might work - no dice. [:-(]
Yes I HAVE checked that the appropriate /dev/ files exist.
Yes I HAVE used fdisk to verify that the partition exists, is recognised
and SHOULD be mountable.
I have even used Partition Magic 7 to confirm the existance of the
extended partition and the logical partition it encloses.
There is obviously something I HAVEN'T done [:-)]
How do I mount that recalcitrant partition, please?
FWIW, here is PM7's listing. The only "odd" thing is the EPBR (Extended
Partition Boot Record?), which fdisk didn't see - and which I don't
understand [:-)]
