Is there no other possibility (e.g. using WinNT Disk Manager) to
archieve this? My extended partition looks like this:

**************************************
*          D:\   * E:\ *  unused     *
**************************************

The "unused" partition is part of the extended partition on WinNT.
I would like to put NetBSD there.
