I think you're trying to do what the error message suggests you are.
/dev/hdb2 is the extended partition. I'm pretty sure logical partitions
have numbers >= 5. Eg...
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 3 24066 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 4 4462 35816917+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 4 258 2048256 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 259 513 2048256 83 Linux
[...]
If you do "fdisk -l /dev/hdb" you should see your list of partitions and
types.
