When using a file or a volume as a vdisk backend then, by default, there's no disk label written on the disk (although prtvtoc will display a default geometry). So you will not be able to access any partition because none is actually defined.
What you need to do, is run format(1m), select your disk, and write a new label using the "label" command. By default, this will only create one slice (s2) using the entire disk. Then you will be able to use slice "s2". alex.
