So it's the moral equivalent of an extended partition, though not exactly the same?for sake of compatibilty or more complicated layouts it commonly looks like this/disk -> dos partition label -> dos partition 1 -> bsd label -> slices 1-12and here it's quite confusing if you call both things by the same name.
on linux you'd issue (from memory)some mount -t ufs -o ufstype=<something>,<number>. I've had to access partitions with a bsd label & slices inside from linux on rare occasions, but it's quite an annoying thing to do even without them embedded inside a dos partition.
