Where does the number "5 partitions" for x86 come in? If we're counting just primaries, it would be 4. If we're counting logicals + primaries, that would be 4 + 36 = 40 partitions.
There are 5 "primary" devices, because there's the extra p0 device that corresponds to the whole disk. Extended partition devices are not created by the default enumeration in devfs (I don't know why offhand, but that's the observed behavior). The odd disk that has extended partitions (rare in the server space that this fix is about) will fit into the slop.
