Booting FreeBSD 5.x from an extended partition? |

I appreciate Grub -- great utility. I am successfully booting Windows and
FreeBSD 5.x on primary partitions and Linux in a logical partition but am
unable to boot FreeBSD 5.x on a logical partition.
This works for FreeBSD on a primary partition:
root (hd0,3,a)
kernel /boot/loader
Doing this fails:
root (hd0,5,a) # second logical partition in extended partition
The error given is:
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xa5
Booting into the primary partition version of FreeBSD allows me to mount
/dev/ad0s6a (the equivalent to the above root line) just fine. Just in
case, I tried with it formatted for UFS1 and UFS2. Both give the same
error. Ideas?
