Code signing question

I imported my certificate from a .p7b file.

When I created a sample self-signed root certificate -- which worked  
-- I noticed the private key is part of the certificate in the  
keychain.  My imported Authenticode certificate doesn't show a private  
key in the keychain.  I know on the Windows side, the private key was  
stored in a separate (binary) file; something like:  myprivatekey.pvk.

In any case, I have en e-mail out to VeriSign to see if they have any  
guidance or instructions...
