Solaris does not use partitions. Rather, it uses slices inside of a BIOS partition on i86pc, and just slices on sparc. This a very important distinction to understand. Flash(TM) archives are files based, and have nothing whatsoever to do with slices. You do not need the -R switch, unless You are creating a Flash(TM) archive of a diskless or an AutoClient. What You most likely are looking for is Flash(TM) archives coupled with JumpStart(TM). JumpStart(TM) will slice the disk up for You according to the JumpStart(TM) profile and rules.ok file which You specify. If You really want to make images at any cost, dd if=/dev/dsk/c#t#d#s2 onto another disk as a file, or pass the results to tape. However, I don't know what could happen if you try to restore that image on a disk that is not the same as the disk that the image has been created from.
