Am I incorrect in assuming that my root partition can be an ext fs?

I have been repartitioning and re-mk(e)fs'ing my disks
this weekend to take advantage of the extended file system
on a larger scale and I have run into a problem.  It seems that
using bootlin and the 96c-pl2 kernel, I can't mount an extended
partition as a root partition.  I have the partition marked ok in
my fstab and I can mount it if I boot from floppy, but I can't
mount it as the root partition.  
        Is this known and expected bahavior or should I fiddle
with it some more?  I am booting with bootlin.com from DOS using
boot.sys as a multiplexer.
