On the command line level, you can format
it with mkfs -F udfs /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?p0 .
See also man mkfs_udfs(1M).

This would use the whole media.

You can also try to fdisk partition the
media, and create the udfs filesystem
in one of the p1 ... p4 primary fdisk
partitions.  Not sure which variant is
preferred by other operating systems.

Last time I experimented with this, Solaris'
udfs filesystem was quite slow, similar to 
Solaris' pcfs filesystem...
