OpenBSD 3.6 was released in November 2004:

http://www.openbsd.org/36.html

...& has not been officially supported for five years. As time continues to progress, fewer & fewer people will even remember the details of 3.6, & no one is officially obligated to provide support. If anyone does provide any insight, it is out of their own generosity & personal sense of altruism. Basing business decisions on other people's generosity is a feeble business plan. At some point, you will need to move into the modern world.

Having said that, OpenBSD's install script is simply calling the following commands:

# fdisk -e wd0
# disklabel -E wd0

...if the boot disk is IDE. If it is SCSI, the commands called are:

# fdisk -e sd0
# disklabel -E sd0

Details on usage can be found in the fdisk(8) & disklabel(8) manpages. Section 4.5.3 of the current FAQ will be of limited use given that automatic creation of disklabel(8) partitions is a recently available feature not present in OpenBSD 3.6.
