I know, if you can see the individual file system, you can mount vfat with 
mount -F pcfs, but I'm not sure, without some research, how to pull your 
partitions off the USB drive. I would guess there is a disk header that needs 
to be read, and rmformat doesn't seem to be getting it properly. I would also 
do a pkginfo | grep SUNWlibusb to make sure the USB drivers and headers are 
fully installed. There are 2 libusb packages and I believe that you need them 
both.

Yes, I've tried using '/dev/dsk' and '/dev/rdsk' with same result :(

mmmm ok
So, the output of 'rmformat -l' should print all the partitions too...?

Maybe Solaris doesn't like the partitioning schema I made with linux fdisk, 
because you're right it shows the whole disk, but I wasn't sure if this is 
normal or not...

Yes, I think I did a complete installation, but I'm not sure.
Is there any way to see what FS are supported by the 'mount' command?¿

Thanks for you answers...
