But not quite- its ok with BSD 
But look at this dmesg output:
Partition check:
 hda: hda1 hda2! hda3 <solaris: [s0] hda5 [s1] hda6 [s2] hda7 [s7] hda8 > hda4 < hda9 
hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 > < hda14 hda15 hda16 hda17 >                                  
                            
I means what you see: BSD slices at the end, sol. after partition. 
fdisk calls it /dev/hda7, mount /dev/hda11. 
But Extended hda4 is hda4...
and this large swap partition gets "mkswapped" more than once (but not by debian 
linux):
/dev/hda3   *       783      1566   6288408   82  Linux (Auslagerung) 
thats how a solaris partition with slices inside looks to linux.
