IIRC the reason why there was still that one primary was that you could
only boot to a primary partition.
BTW, I don't use extended partitions any more, but I reproduce the above
structure because I typically have one smallish [the 500MB HDDs of our
64bit DEC Alpha workstations felt quite spacious back then]
partition for /boot and a second for LVM :-)
