I notice that the FreeBSD bootloader (boot0) explicitly prohibits
booting from Extended DOS partitions (type 5).  As far as I can
see, an Extended DOS partition looks like a virtual disk - sector
0 contains a partition table explaining how that partition is broken
up into secondary partitions.  Given this, why can't it contain
an MBR and allow booting?
