Logical vs. Primary.  Logical partitions are a work-around for the fact
that you can only have four primary partitions.  So 1-4 are reserved for
primary partitions, and logical partitions start at 5.

See, it *is* logical =)

I'm not sure why you can only have four primary partitions, nor whether
the logical partition scheme (which after all sounds like a hack) has
any pitfalls.
