Thanks to all who replied.
Needed to enlarge partition via disklabel (command b) instead of fdisk (see
below line OpenBSD area),
sd0> p
OpenBSD area: 64-244188000; size: 244187936; free: 244187936
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
c: 1953525168 0 unused
sd0> b
Starting sector: [64]
Size ('*' for entire disk): [244187936] *
sd0*> p
OpenBSD area: 64-1953525168; size: 1953525104; free: 1953525104
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
c: 1953525168 0 unused
sd0*> a d
offset: [64]
size: [1953525104]
FS type: [4.2BSD]
sd0*> p
OpenBSD area: 64-1953525168; size: 1953525104; free: 48
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
c: 1953525168 0 unused
d: 1953525056 64 4.2BSD 8192 65536 1
sd0*> w
-->just to note, prior to this I played enough to get fdisk returning Can't
read sector 0 and also some kernel panic ...I had to resort to Linux fdisk to
write a fresh DOS partition table (there also noticed that the disk had a GPT
type partition table which may be the culprit all along somehow).
