Okay, trying #1:

  # fdisk -e -c 309183 -h 10 -s 23 sd0
  fdisk: Cylinder argument out of range.

Bummer.

Trying #2 was going pretty well, until I tried to edit the third slice in
CHS mode:

  # fdisk -e -c 14723 -h 210 -s 23 sd0
  fdisk: 1> edit 3
  	Starting	Ending
   $: id  cyl  hd sec -  cyl  hd sec [     start -      size ]
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  *3: A6    0   0   2 - 1023  58  16 [         1 -  71132759 ] OpenBSD
  Partition id ('0' to disable)  [0 - FF]: [A6] (? for help) a6
  Do you wish to edit in CHS mode? [n] y
  BIOS Starting cylinder [0 - 14722]: [0] 0
  BIOS Starting head [0 - 209]: [0] 0
  BIOS Starting sector [1 - 23]: [2] 483
  '483' is out of range.

I kind of expected that after seeing [1 - 23] for the acceptable values...

Hey, I'm not gonna point any fingers :)

Thanks for the suggestions.
