I thought it might be the distinction between the four partition slots
in an MBR (called "primary" partitions) , and entries in a "secondary"
partition table used by "boot managers", augmented DOS MBR bootstrap
code, and DOS TSRs/drivers to make the extended partitions avaiable as
DOS drives...

Such "secondary" partitions aren't bootable (so you can't put NetBSD
in one) and they're often invisible to other OSes anyway.
