What it does mean "i386 only"?

I got this information from the OpenBSD FAQ as follows:

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#NewDisk

Quote:

14.4 - Adding extra disks in OpenBSD

Well once you get your disk installed PROPERLY you need to use fdisk(8) (i386 only) and disklabel(8) to set up your disk in OpenBSD.

My question is what it does mean "i386 only"?

If I run an amd64 architecture OpenBSD, can I set everything with disklabel(8) and without fdisk(8)?

If I can, how to get a OpenBSD slice without fdisk(8)?
