The 5-part number system is already in use on UnixWare.
They seem to have both "s" and "p" on the end.

example command: prtvtoc -f /tmp/foo /dev/rdsk/c0b0t2d0s0
The "slice 0" in /dev/dsk/c0b0t2d0s0 is the entire disk.

Assuming one primary DOS partition and some extended partitions:

to mount the primary DOS partition on the first hard drive
mount -F dosfs /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0p1 /mountpoint

to mount the extended DOS partition on the first hard drive
mount -F dosfs /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0p2 /mountpoint

Note: can only mount the first partition inside an extended partition.
