Disklabel sits on the physical disk (wd0c, sd0c, or da0s1c) and has an internal table of partitions on this disk. Disklabel itself is a command to create these partitions.
In OpenBSD disklabel can be used interactively with disklabel -E option. This is also the same as the OS install.

16 partitions:

This is a sample OpenBSD disklabel on a 24 GB drive. Partition a is the root disk, historically the root drive is always on a. Partition b is for swap, partition c represents the entire disk and d is /var filesystem. The rest (partition e) is for the /usr filesystem.
