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         |
                  +-------------------------+
