Yep. I think I saw similar thing at one point. That made me zap my
FreeBSD and installed another Linux :-)
I thought Linus fdisk and kernel numbered these extended partitions/BSD
slice in different order, if I remember correct. I do not even remember
that was RH or debian.
By the way, tool to hide free BSD partition? I think "fdisk" on Debian
boot/root disk should be the one. If you use IDEPCI disk set, it
requires 2 disks to boot Linus. (This is not interesting.)
Well that is not real solution. Some boot loader has hiding feature for
stupid DOS/WIN. They may be able to use it or hacked for this end.
GRUB may do this. (After all GNU official swiss army booter)
GAG had some self configuration but I forgot all. (Cute graphical boot
manager, self contained in boot sector only)
