I don't use OpenSolaris yet, but Solaris 10,
Here's how I worked with my 2 1TB USB drives:
sudo format -e

I also found that adding the following line to the bottom of the
/kernel/drv/scsa2usb.conf file helped it behave more stable:
attribute-override-list="vid=* reduced-cmd-support=true pm=off";
Hope that helps, :)
I'm sure I did things in a more complicated method than most, but I basically
treated the device as a regular drive and ignored the fact that it was actually
a USB connection.
Cheers! :)
