Your fdisk(8) output only indicates that one MBR partition is used & this single MBR partition uses the entire disk.

There appears to be no free space for making another partition for FAT32.

If you believe that partition "c" is free space in the disklabel(8) output, you are incorrect. Partition "c" represents the entire disk from the disklabel perspective. As such, it is always marked unused.

It appears that when OpenBSD was installed, you chose to provide the entire disk for its usage. If you want to create another partition (FAT32 or otherwise...) you will need to reinstall. Be sure to save any important files first.

Before proceeding, take the time to seriously study Section 4 of the FAQ as this discusses installation issues.

ros2468, in the future please provide the complete output from commands. You have had a habit of picking & choosing what is presented, & this simply consumes time in trying to figure out what is missing & why you omit it. Be respectful of the effort you are asking of others to help solve your problems. Provide complete information, & provide all information requested.

Lastly, it would be worth your time to read the following thread:
