??? it has worked in OpenBSD for a very long time, possibly forever, though I recall using it in 3.3. You should read disklabel documentation more closely. Pay particular attention to the b (set OpenBSD disk boundaries) command. Just be very very careful with your numbers, since there is totally no support for several ranges of boundaries, so once you enable your 4th partition, you basically have permission to create new bsd partitions all over the place, which includes the Windows stuff...
