No. The installer showed only one slice da0s1d, and the whole disk was 
assigned to it.

I'd check on the running box but:
koth# disklabel -e /dev/da0
disklabel: disks with more than 2^32-1 sectors are not supported

/dev only shows:
koth# ls /dev/da0*
/dev/da0        /dev/da0s1      /dev/da0s1c     /dev/da0s1d

So I expect it is all assigned to the one slice.
