AIUI, you can make 3 primary's then an extended, and you can put 4 more
logicals in this extended partition. Which is how I've done it until LVM2.
Now there are only 3, /boot, /dos, & LVM00 (which is a longer string I'm not
going to try and type correctly...)
I haven't tried this, but it may be possible to make them all extended, and
put 4 logicals in each of those, which would allow 16. But as I said, I
haven't verified that it would actually work. It might be that /boot would
have to live on a primary partition. I have / on a extended/logical on
several drives.
