I apologize for the newbie question, but how is one supposed to add a FAT32 
partition?  The following shows where I have verified the partitioning of a USB 
flash drive containing two partitions through fdisk.  One for OpenBSD (type A6) 
& the rest FAT32.  Yet when entering the disklabel, I am not seeing the FAT32 
partition (typically partition 'i'), and disklabel doesn't allow adding it 
either.  What is the trick for making this visible?

$ sudo fdisk sd0
Disk: sd0       geometry: 124/255/63 [2002944 Sectors]
Offset: 0       Signature: 0xAA55
          Starting         Ending        LBA Info:

 2: 00      0   0  0 -      0   0  0 [           0:           0 ] unused

$  sudo disklabel -E sd0
# Inside MBR partition 3: type A6 start 32 size 417658
Treating sectors 32-417690 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk.
You can use the 'b' command to change this.

No space left, you need to shrink a partition
> q
No label changes.
