OK, but the sysinstall fdisk has a "Change Type" option that seemed to work.
When I tried it, it changed the EXTENDED partition/slice to FreeBSD.

Do I need to actually Delete the EXTENDED partition and then recreate
it as a FreeBSD slice? (is that safer, or otherwise recommended)
It seems that "Change Type" does this in one step.

BTW, I have nothing on the EXTENDED partition.  It is only there to hold
FreeBSD.
