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)
