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.
