Is that a S-ATA DVD (ATAPI) device?  (Apparently the SAMSUNG
disks are detected as S-ATA HDD devices)

It seems that S-ATA ATAPI devices are currently not supported 
using Solaris' sata drivers:

See bug 6550832
Synopsis: sata AHCI driver has to support SATA ATAPI CD/DVD devices
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6550832

It seems the only workaround is to either:

- use a P-ATA ATAPI device

or 

- set the S-ATA controller to P-ATA compatibility mode,
  and use the S-ATA ATAPI device in P-ATA compatibility mode 
  with the Solaris "ata" driver.

No, the bug is with 2k physical sector size.

At this time, Solaris' pcfs only has support for 512 byte physical 
sector sizes.

Nope, devices using 512 byte physical sector size
work just fine.
