OpenBSD normally probes the disk and automatically generates a pseudo disklabel with a single slice 'i' which spans the entire MBR partition.

I haven't really read the code that's responsible for this but maybe it also probes the filesystem for FAT metadata?

Try manually creating a disklabel 'i' with the type 'MSDOS', after that.. run:
$ sudo newfs_msdos -F 32 /dev/rwd1i

I'm not sure if this will work or not though, creating the filesystem on Windows is the more typical method.
