Thanks Bryan, but I did meant automatic disklabeling or 'automatic
detection of existing foreign partitions' if you will. Forgive me for
not being clear. The FAQ says in 14.16.1 I had to do it manually but I
know Openbsd is much smarter than that, because it did exactly just that
(automatic detection) during initial install. I'm using Openbsd 3.9
Stable on wd0.

disklabel -E wd0
man 8 disklabel
Though maybe I am confusing "automatic" for "interactive" in this
context, as I've never noticed an automatic (best defaults?)
partition scheme frob in the installer.
