i.e. the extended partiton = slice 4; each logical drives start counting from slice 5.

an example from my own system:

[code]
FreeBSD device - Windows Drive-letter (partition type)

ad0s1 - Windows C: (first primary)
ad0s2a - FreeBSD / (second primary)
ad0s4 - Extended Partition
ad0s5 - Windows P:\ (first logical)
ad0s6 - Windows U:\ (second logical)
ad0s7 - Windows S:\ (third logical)
