If you've first created a slice on the disk, and then
partitions inside the slice, it's standard mode, e. g.
ad0 a b d e f g
{ [ (/) (swap) (/tmp) (/var) (/usr) (/home) ] }
s1
If you've omitted the slice, and created the partitions
on the disk device itself, it's dangerosly dedicated mode, e. g.
ad0
{ (/) (swap) (/tmp) (/var) (/usr) (/home) }
a b d e f g
You can tell by the existence of ad0s1[adefg] vs. ad0[adefg]
in /dev, or by trying to print the disks's slice table.
