Well Well. .Surprise surprise!! Using extended logical partitions in
freebsd is easier than I thought!
I ran disklabel -w /dev/ad8s9 , then newfs to create a new ufs2
filesystem, and then added the new ufs partition to /etc/fstab.
Likewise with my other logical partitions /dev/ad8s10, ad8s11 etc
Partition magic looks like the least painful option. Thanks for the tip.
I'm just gonna try newfs on the logical partitions once and see :)
after I change t ptype to ufs from linux fdisk just for
kicks..

That's different then. If you want to keep XP (and keep it within that
extended partition)

Thanks all. I have XP and linux share the xtended partition, and
now I want to say bye bye linux (I need XP for worldwind s/w) .
Ido not see the extended logical drives containing ext3 from
sysinstall that is the problem.
The cmdline freebsd fdisk feels like a throw back tp the

Is it possible to have multiple freebsd slices (partitions) on a
single disk?
Sure. You'd be mounting filesystems from /dev/ad0s
