Okay. So you need following command:
mkfs -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/c9t1d4p1
p0 is whole disk (including the partition table).
Sorry I mistyped the mkfs command in the first e-mail. That was Linux
syntax.

Hi,
Thank you for helping me on this.
before applying mkfs I tried the mount command as follow:
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0 /media/s
The command returns the following error:
mount: /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0 is not a DOS filesystem.
So I tried the fstyp command on that partition and it says:
unknown_fstyp (no matches)
Now I tried to use mkfs as follow:
mkfs pcfs /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0
it returns the following error:
mkfs: Operation not applicable for FSType nfs
I tried P0-p9 and it did not work.
To ensure that the partition is there, I used format > fdisk command
again and the partition is there:
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Active Win95 FAT32 1 1022 1022 100
What do I miss here? Does fstyp and mkfs works on raw devices or on
block devices? I tried them on both ..../rdsk/... and .../dsk/.... and
the result was the same.
If you cached what I am doing wrong, please let me know.

Close!
All the partitions that end in sN (e.g. s0) are Solaris partitions (aka
slices).
All the Solaris slices reside in one fdisk partition.
All the fdisk partitions end in pN (e.g. p0)
So ...
use:
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c9t1d4p0 /media/s

The amount of things I don't know is enormous.
But I'm grateful for every bit of information.
