Why, it's this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bryan]# /sbin/sfdisk -l /dev/sda
 
Disk /dev/sda: 1106 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from
0
 
   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda3        619    1105     487    3911827+   5  Extended
/dev/sda4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
/dev/sda5        619+   1105     487-   3911796   83  Linux

Why do you ask?  Just kidding.  Let me change that /dev/sda3 in my fstab
to /dev/sda5 and low and behold, I can mount it now.  Thanks!

P.S. Thanks to the others for reminding me how partitions work too. 
It's been a while since I've worried about that kind of thing.  And darn
it, now I'll have to try Xnest too :)  Sounds dang cool.
