If you add a second disk to a x86 system, you do not have to use
fdisk, since ``disklabel -E wd1’’ is enough to be able to
do ``newfs wd1a’’. But, in doing so, you forgo a possibility to use
this new disk as a boot device, that is now you cannot do
``installboot -v wd1’’, because that will give you
``installboot: no OpenBSD partition’’
Apparently, there is no way to create an fdisk partition once you
already used disklabel on the whole disk.
