Curious myself on how to mount an extended FAT partition under Solaris
I did a little google for Solaris extended partition and found this
site:

http://multiboot.solaris-x86.org/v/2.html

It doesn't explain the full reasoning behind the c0t0d0p4:c semantics,
but it's a good start. I guess a man mount may show more...
