I'm not jggimi, but the following are the steps you need to perform:
  1. Back up all important data found on the disk.
  2. Next, study Section 4.5.2 of the FAQ:

    http://openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Disks

    Studying the fdisk(8) manpage will be helpful as well.
  3. As the FAQ section points out, you will need to create a primary partition of type A6 via the command:

    # fdisk -e wd0

    You should also make sure that fdisk(8) shows that there is no overlap in sectors used by Windows & OpenBSD.
  4. Once you have saved changes made to the MBR, look at the entries via:

    # fdisk wd0

    ...to ensure that the changes made are actually in place.
  5. At this point, install OpenBSD as discussed in Section 4 of the FAQ.
