This is expected behaviour. Since your disk has a 'real' disklabel on it, any other fdisk partitions that you create will not be parsed and added automatically. > I need a way to generate it without having to reinstall OpenBSD. You need to add the details of the new, non-OpenBSD partition to the disklabel manually. This is not difficult. If you invoke disklabel with the -E parameter, you will be able to edit the disklabel partitions in the same way that you did in the installer, so you can use option 'a' to add a partition, and fill in the correct parameters, such as offset, size, etc. If you don't know the parameters, invoke disklabel with the -d parameter. This will show you how the kernel would parse the partitions if there was no disklabel already present. From this information, you should be able to pick out which is your new partition, probably i or j, note the details down, then add them as described above.
