I believe you are correct, Oswald. Basically, you daisy-chain the extended
partitions (think linked list, though it's technically a bit different).
I'm also puzzled by the initial question. Every Debian install I've done
created /dev/hda10 as part of the install process. Perhaps the original
poster made a mistake when creating it? The output of "ls -l /dev/hda10"
might be informative, as might a partition list of /dev/hda from fdisk.
