Solaris can mount disks with MBRs. That is what the attempt to mount
".../disk1s2:c" is doing.
I'm suspecting a bug that is the most common PCFS bug for a disk with an
MBR.
Can you look at the system log file /var/adm/messages and see whether there
is a message saying "pcfs: FAT size error" ? If so it is very likely bug ID
6217236. Mention this to your Sun representative and ask for a fix for
Solaris 10.
If you don't see the above message being produced in the messages file when
the error occurs, let me know whether you'll be able to get a disk dump and
send it to me off alias.

Hello Ashley,
Yes, the server is Solaris 10 6/06 SPARC. I'll try to get that same
USB drive later (it's not mine, but user's) and test as you ask.
I believe the lines from the log are similar to what you expect,
though? From /var/opt/SUNWut/log/utmountd.log.*:
"Good" USB drive which simply worked:
2007.02.13 15:39:41.574282 MSK Mounter Service started
2007.02.13 15:42:12.392632 MSK [device uid=150001 xid=3 ctlmin=1
devroot=/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.080020fd4d00 media=disk]
2007.02.13 15:49:07.059954 MSK [detach uid=150001 xid=3 ctlmin=1
devroot=/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.080020fd4d00 media=disk]
"Bad" USB drive with an MBR on it, which only worked in Windows directly:
2007.03.04 14:08:13.785456 MSK Mounter Service started
2007.03.04 14:16:34.916357 MSK [device uid=150000 xid=3 ctlmin=1
devroot=/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.080020fd7e95 media=disk]
mount: /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.080020fd7e95/dev/dsk/disk1s2 is not a DOS
filesystem.
