cant mount my extended fat32 partition in slackware

[chOkOlate]

Disk /dev/hdb: 61.4 GB, 61492838400 bytes

/dev/hdb3 5876 7476 12860032+ a5 FreeBSD

THis the error I get :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb2,
missing codepage or other error
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

And this is the row in /etc/fstab :
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/hd vfat umask=0000,dmask=0000,uid=0002,gid=users 0 0

please help

[kern]

why isnt it just a primary partition?

its because you've made an extended partition with no logical inside

basically you've partitioned wrong, change the fs type of the partition with fdisk, write the changes, reboot, format with a proper filesystem, then mount it.

[kern]

it even tells you this in your error
