referring to my being unable to access ad0s2 from FBSD.
The drive is partitioned DOS-DOS-FBSD.

If I set up the partitions Primary1-Primary2-Primary3, WinNT "hides" 
Primary2, and I have to "unhide" using Partition Magic every time I 
boot into that hateful OS.  However, I CAN acess Primary2 from FBSD.
If I set up the partitions Primary1-Logical1-Primary2, WinNT is happy, 
but Logical1 cannot be mounted by FBSD. 

herewith details of the latter case:
As you can see, fdisk can see the extended partition, but not the 
logical partition inside it. (tho' windoze is happy)
