Hmm -- if I recall correctly, Linux uses FDISK partitions for its 
drives, including extended partitions.  NetBSD uses its own disk label. 
If you know the sector addresses and sizes of the other partitions -- 
you may have to get that from Linux or DOS -- you should be able to 
hand-edit the NetBSD disk label for the drive.
