Hi 

  If the df -h list is complete  it looks as if you have  allocated  some 6.5 
GB  in total  to solaris.
  The rest of the Disk drives capacity is probably in  another  PC BIOS  
Hardware  partition. 
  To list  the  hardware partitions   you can use   the command  " fdisk" 

   your physical  disk device is probably  /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0    ,  look  in 
/dev/rdsk   to find out ! 

   fdisk output should look similar  to :

--------------------------------------------------------------------

#  fdisk  /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 

             Total disk size is 18241 cylinders
             Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks

                                               Cylinders
      Partition   Status    Type          Start   End   Length    %
      =========   ======    ============  =====   ===   ======   ===
          1       Active    Solaris2          1  18228    18228    100


SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
   1. Create a partition
   2. Specify the active partition
   3. Delete a partition
   4. Change between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs
   5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit)
   6. Cancel (exit without updating disk configuration)
Enter Selection: 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You probably have  more than one partition here  which prevents solaris 
from allocating the  diskspace in the installtion phase. 

So  basically i belive you need  to delete  ALL  the partitions  , with option 
3 .
and then  choose  option 5 to  exit .

As you are Not useing  OpenSolaris 2008.05  the installer  in SXCE och 
Solaris 10  is capable  of creating a new Solaris partitoin covering the whole 
disk the next time you install , which you will have to do. 

Another alternative  is to use Partition magic  or Gparted live cd  to fix the 
partition table
