You probably answered "no" when asked "Do you want to use *all* of wd0 for 
OpenBSD?". Unless you want to dual boot or keep some part of the disk intact, 
it's easier to say "yes" here. Then you can continue to slice up your 
partition.

Scroll down a little bit to "Creating a disklabel". There is also a good 
suggestion for the sizes there.

This is what I use:
$ df -h
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a     80.8M   33.4M   43.4M    44%    /
/dev/wd0h     54.6G    6.2G   45.6G    12%    /home
/dev/wd0d      2.0G    203M    1.7G    11%    /tmp
/dev/wd0g     11.8G    5.7G    5.5G    51%    /usr
/dev/wd0e      3.9G   66.0M    3.7G     2%    /var

You would probably allocate more space for /var as most of your space 
requirements will be there on a server.
