fstab/mount filesystem nomenclature

What is the appropriate nomenclature for logical/entended partitions in fstab and elsewhere

For example, hde1 (or hda1) is the base partition. If I use an extended partition, is that hde2 or what

I just added some fstab entries, rebooted, read the stuff fine, but now Woody is smarter (when I try mount /f, I get

FAT: bogus logical sector size 0

VFS: Can’t find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 21:02

Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde2,

Or too many mounted file systems

(aren’t you trying to mount an extended partition,

instead of some logical partition inside?)
