Making, drinking tea and reading an opus magnum from Eric Ziegast:
> I've tried a few times to get OpenBSD (3.8 beta from mid-late August)

> I can see the "A6" label created in MBR partition 3.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c count=100
and retry the install.
otherwise we'd need to look at the fdisk table and disklabel...
