Being still more used to Linux disk-names like /dev/hda, I find 4 disks(?): c0t1d0p0..4, c0t1d0s0..15, c1d0p0..4 and c1d0s0..15. The disk that is destined to be used is the 1st drive, 2nd IDE controller, or in Linux terms: /dev/hdc. The CDROM drive is 2nd drive, 1st IDE controller. I took c1d0.
This disk has been setup as:
0 root
1 swap
2 backup
3 unassigned
4 unass.
5 unass.
6 home
7 unass.
8 boot
9 alternates

The label command gives no problem now, but I wonder how to use "newfs". When I do "newfs /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0" it returns:

You'd need to use "newfs /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0". "s0" refers to the first slice within the Solaris2 partition. The list you posted above is the list of slices
  inside the Solaris2 partition.

"...p0" in Solaris refers to the entire physical disk. So if you dump 512 bytes from the start of "...p0" you can see the MBR contents. This is not where you'd
  want to create a filesystem!

"...p1" - "...p4" refer to the first four primary partitions, similar to hda1 ... hda4
  on Linux.

mkfs: bad value for size: 0 must be between 1024 and 0
mkfs: size reset to default 0
seek error on sector -1: Error 0

If you need more info for helping me out, please ask.
Thank you.
