Err, I think that in this case the D partition would be a DOS Extended 
partition (logical drive).  At the present time, I don't think that the pcfs 
device driver can handle these.  If you try you will probably panic the 
system with a division by zero error so some such.  Someone correct me on 
this if this has changed with 1.1.5.1.

Of course, if D is a seperate disk drive then its just a matter of doing
a disklabel and mounting it with type pcfs.  If you need any help doing this
drop me a line.
