There are two errors in above:
a) Your extended-logical partition does not have the filesystem
set. If you want to make it ext2 use mkfs or mke2fs. (I prefer
the latter because of the flexibility it provides)
b) Your mount syntax is incorrect. It should be:
mount -t <fs-type> /dev/hdxN /mountpoint
The syntax for fstab entry is in the LOST tip below.

Sub : User floppy mount LOST #009
NOT RECOMMENDED for a multiuser system. For a stand-alone box
add to /etc/fstab, (where /floppy is your mount point):
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,nosuid,nodev,noauto,user 0 0
/floppy ... as an user will do the trick
