Hi there!
Most likely I am overlooking the right sentence in the FAQ, man fdisk(8)
or man disklabel(8) ... but I am lost at present.
Need help!
I finally had the money to buy myself a new laptop from Schenker; a
different model seems to work just fine
(https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc=143965407100554=2). Comes with a
m.2-SSD and a SATA-SSD. As I need to visit different customers and
chances are high that I receive really sensible data I'd like to set up
a fully encrypted system with a key disk following stsp@'s fine
presentation on this
(http://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2015-softraid-boot.pdf, core
instructions at page 11).
UEFI-boot is disabled; boot sequence is CD, USB-stick, m.2-SSD.
Checking the USB-stick with the to-be-replaced laptop:
$ doas disklabel sd1
# /dev/rsd1c:
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label: UDisk
duid:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 979
total sectors: 15730688
boundstart: 64
boundend: 15727635
drivedata: 0
16 partitions:
#size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
c: 157306880 unused
d:16001 64RAID
e:1606516065RAID
f:1606532130RAID
g:1606548195RAID
h:1606564260RAID
i: 1564731080325RAID
The idea is to use partition 'd' to unlock the m.2-SSD and 'e' to unlock
the other SSD (which shall be mounted as '/home'), 'f' will unlock the
backup disk, 'g' & 'h' are for other media and 'i' might be used to
store other sensible information (e.g. passwords).
What is the problem? I have downloaded the 'install58.iso'-file
(amd64-current) and burned the disk to start from. dmesg recognizes the
three media and reports them as 'sd0' (=m.2-SSD), 'sd1' (SATA-SSD) and
'sd2' (USB-stick). I can start from the CD and hit 's' at the prompt.

# fdisk -iy sd0
Writing MBR at offset0
# fdisk -iy sd1
fdisk: sd2: No such file or directory
# fdisk -iy sd2
fdisk: sd2: No such file or directory
< End of transcription >
You might think "Hold on - sd1 is a SATA-device! This should be handled
as 'wdx' (x=0,1,2,...)" OK...
# fdisk -iy wd0
fdisk: wd0: Device not configured
# disklabel -E wd0
disklabel: /dev/rwd0c: Device not configured
PLEASE: Point my curiosity into the right direction! How come that the
SATA-SSD and the USB-stick are recognized by dmesg, but neither by fdisk
not disklabel???
I tried to plug in a 'normal' MSDOS-formatted USB-stick but it is not
possible to mount the stick to copy this system's dmesg onto it ("no
such file or directory").
Here are the last visible lines from the dmesg:

How should I proceed???
TIA!
