I'm new to openbsd. Sorry if the question is obvious to you but I

not simply / and /home for example?
you actually will find the answer in the faq (very close to the url
Jan posted), but I'll offer this:
pe...@deeperthought:~$ mount
/dev/sd0a on / type ffs (local)
/dev/sd0k on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid)
/dev/sd0d on /tmp type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid)
/dev/sd0f on /usr type ffs (local, nodev)
/dev/sd0g on /usr/X11R6 type ffs (local, nodev)
/dev/sd0h on /usr/local type ffs (local, nodev)
/dev/sd0j on /usr/obj type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid)
/dev/sd0i on /usr/src type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid)
/dev/sd0e on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid)

Hey, at least throw in that

as partitions are for convenience, not strictly necessary as partitions.
You NEED to understand why, though.
Besides the FAQ, read the manual pages, over and over until they start
to make sense. (Eventually all will become clear.) :)
