My past recollection of slices/partitions wrt differences in them
between FreeBSD and Linux tend me to believe you cannot compare the two
since the system which handles them is highly different.

IIRC Linux allows you to install into extended partitions.  I cannot
remember that we supported (or that it is even possible) with FreeBSD.

Of course, this may all have changed and I have not been paying
attention. =)
