For kinds of reasons, my disk is partitionized like this:
1st partition is for Windows system(Primary)
2nd is for OpenBSD(Primary)
3rd is Windows extended partition(Extended)
4th is originally not used, now I created a new one and mark it as
"A6".(Primary)
Question is after I created the 4th partition, I can get the partition
information using fdisk, but can't see anything using disklabel. How do I use
the 4th partition? Will it be helpful if I just reformat it to fat32 or ext3?
I used to ask this question before, as far as I know, it's not a support config
in bsd 4.5. Is bsd 5.0 support this now?

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.
I agree, I had been using something similar with older releases too.
Still I don't think everything works with more than one A6 parition. It
didn't work for me. Putting single FFS file system directly in the other
fdisk partition works, but there is no standard fdisk partition ID for
such a partition. To avoid many risks, I solved it by some undefined
partition ID. Is there any recommended ID to use for the "FFS partition"?
