It is not a real slice defined/stored in the disklabel, rather it is a 'view' shown with the disklabel of something defined elsewhere, in this case the disk partition table. To modify it you should use a tool like fdisk(8). It is shown with the disklabel so you'll know it's occupied so you won't try to use it for OpenBSD purposes. -ken
