fdisk reports 4.2BSD partitions instead EXT2



I'm experiencing some problems with fdisk reporting BSD partitions on
a disk with ext2 partitions.  I think that I did have a BSD slice on
there at the very beginning, but I don't remember whether it's still
there.  It could be hdc2, but I couldn't figure out a way to mount the
partitions from it.  Below is the output from fdisk.  I don't know how
to manipulate the partitions this way...

`mount' mounts hdc1, hdc4, hdc5 and hdc6 without a problem.  hdc3 is
linux swap.

How could I get to the partitions from Linux?

Thanks for any hints!
