First, do `fdisk sd0` and locate the boundaries of the msdos file system.
Then `disklabel -E sd0x` and add a partition of type MSDOS with the
specified boundaries. NOTE! You must allow disklabel to point outside of
the OBSD part of the disk, using the "b" command. Usually
``b<enter>0<enter>*<enter>'' is your friend.
Additionally: OpenBSD usually automatically detects FAT partitions and
puts them into the disklabel (read up on this in the FAQ and in man 8
disklabel) as partition i, even if it's not within the supposed
OpenBSD boundaries of the disk. I don't know what's up with your
system. If you still can't figure it out, provide fdisk and disklabel
output for us and we'll try to figure it out.
