Is that disk1.img file an empty raw disk image file that
you just created with mkfile (or dd)?

Did you use format's "partition" menu, do define
slices / a partition table for the disk; and did you
write a SunOS disk label to the new disk using
format's "label" command?

Seems that you skipped the step to partition / label the
new disk.  In this case the kernel constructs a default
disk label, which has the "s2" slice that maps the whole
Solaris fdisk partition. All other slices are empty.

You can print the current active partition information with the
prtvtoc command:

    # prtvtoc  /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2
or
    # prtvtoc  /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0
