Hi, Shooting in the blind here: Can you try cfgafm on this system? Need Solaris for that though. Maybe net boot it? It shows the device list and your disk should come up as "connected" and "unconfigured". try then cfgadm -c configure sd0 (or sd1, c0, c1 or whatever your hard drive is listed as) and from now on you may play with it using disklabel. As Mr de Raadt pointed out, Solaris is quite picky about the sector size and you need to format it before it can be used (or even be seen) by the OS. I don't think it's a size limit, 36GB, 72GB and 136GB were all normal sized drives back in the day. Smaller ones and bigger ones worked for me at least. Good luck! Flavien
