Assuming I've got the right words, maybe it is the extended partition
itself that is sd0s2, but the logical partitions contained within that
extended partition start numbering at sd0s5. I don't have any such
systems right now, but I have had before and I think I had to do something
like this:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV sd0s5h
to get all of the partition device files created as well.
