I have the same drive, I'm on Solaris 10, and I found this thread after a lot
of googling.
bash-3.00# cat /etc/release
Solaris 10 5/09 s10x_u7wos_08 X86

Assembled 30 March 2009
removing the drive, looking at model/revision/firmware info etc. I discovered I
don't suffer from the firmware problem as I'm using a later revision of the
firmware prefixed with 'CC'.
I added the new drive, did the "touch /reconfigure" and rebooted, it didn't
pick it up. It would show up in "format', but when I selected the new drive,
the format command core dumped.
then I tried an additional step recommended by @iain79 above, the "run devfsadm
-i cmdk". after another reboot I now get further when I run the format command
..
bash-3.00# format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:

selecting c2d0
NO Alt slice

etc...
but the following doesn't fill me with hope. note how big sol10 sees the drive
as, almost 18.5 million terrabytes!

from dmesg..
