Hello,
I have an OpenBSD 3.7 i386 installation on an external usb-enclosure.
I have some space left, and I would like to create an msdos partition
(to transfer files between windows and OpenBSD).
I have tried to create one using OpenBSD's fdisk; then I have
formatted the new partition in windows xp.
But now I don't see how to access the new partition from OpenBSD -- it
does not appear in disklabel, so I don't know how to mount it.
Here is some relevant data:

I think sd0o and sd0p are the leftovers from the installation
procedure (I might have created sd0o and sd0p, but deleted it during
the installation).
Cheers,
