Wouldn't it be:
C: -> /dev/hda1
EXT DOS: -> /dev/hda2
D: -> /dev/hda5
E: -> /dev/hda6
If I remember rightly, DOS cannot read two primary partitions, it needs D:
(or more) on an extended partition as a logical drive.

If I am right about the partition business, set that to /dev/hda6 .
(You might want to make a swap partition too, as /dev/hda7. cfdisk should
be helpful there. (cfdisk is still the default?))
