Right. /dev/wd0s1 is likely to not have a correct UFS superblock, and
UFS is the default fstype for mount(8).

No. Slices are super-partitions.
For example:
+-----------------+-------------------------+--------------------+
| slice 1 | slice 2 | slice 3 |
| type FAT | type *BSD | empty |
| wd0s1 | wd0s2 | |
+-----------------+-------+-------+---------+--------------------+
| |part a |part b |part e | |
| (no part's) |root fs|swap |/usr fs | (no part's) |
| |wd0s2a |wd0s2b |wd0s2e | |
+-----------------+-------+-------+---------+--------------------+
| alias: wd0s2c |
+-------------------------+
