Why is partition e of type "System V" ?
Anyway, you need to add another ( e.g. 'f') partition to your disklabel,
matching your ext2 partition. For this use fdisk to find start and size of
the ext2 partition, and add this to the disklabel with 'disklabel -e'
The fstype should be 'Linux Ext2' but as there's a space it may not
be possible to add it with 'disklabel -e'. In this case, use
4.2BSD as fstype instead, and change it to Linux Ext2 using 'disklabel -i'
later.
