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.

Thank you.

Having a new disk, I'm trying again. With "fdisk /dev/rdsk/c1d1p0", I created an active Solaris2 partition, and exited. Then, Using "format /dev/rdsk/c1d1p0", I created the root, swap, and home partition. Was this correct? Or should I have used "format /dev/rdsk/c1d1p0" for root only? This seems not the case, since "format /dev/rdsk/c1d1p1" gives "no disk set". When I want to create the filesystem "newfs /dev/rdsk/c1d1s6", it says it's out of diskspace.
