I think Ryan means partition and not slice?
I would not recommend no slices at all, It's deprecated to use 
"dangerously dedicated disks"

Starting with 9 I don't see slices in mount ouput anymore but still 
there are FreeBSD partitions in slices (which is a partitions in dos terms)
Example / is now disk0p1 it used to be disk0s1a
