A hard partition will always have its device name as /dev/dsk/cXtYdZsN, where X, Y, Z and N are numbers.
If the device name is of the form /dev/md/dsk/*, then it's a Solaris Volume Manager metadevice - and that category includes soft partitions, mirrors, software RAID and other things. The output of metastat will tell you whether a metadevice is a soft partition or something else.
