Try with "fdisk -e" under OpenBSD.
Use "07" for the partition id and, for the other parameters (offset,
size), just press enter to leave them unchanged.
Example:
<root@x220:~># fdisk -e sd2
Enter 'help' for information
fdisk: 1> p
Disk: sd2 geometry: 498/255/63 [8011774 Sectors]
Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55
