Nope, at least not on x86 systems. A partition holds the Solaris part of the disk, and that part is subdivided into slices. Partitions are visible to other OSes on the box; slices aren't. Whereever the wrong term appears in Sun docs, it should be treated as a doc bug. For Sparc systems, some people intermix the two terms, but it's not really correct there either.
