On 2.1.5 on my home machine:

awfulhak:brian:~ $ df
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
[.....]
/dev/wd0s2    1046016   109104   936912    10%    /dos/c
/dev/sd4s5    1027856   498784   529072    49%    /dos/d
[.....]

The sd4s5 being the first logical drive in the extended partition in the
fifth scsi disk.
