Note that the fdisk command uses the raw device "rdsk",
not "dsk".

p0 is the whole disk, p1 .. p4 are the four primary
fdisk partitions.

No; of cause, it should not crash. 

But I'm not sure if the additional driver / kernel software
that you've installed is compatible with the opensolaris 2009.06
kernel.  I may be wrong, but it seems that the fuse kernel module
uses undocumented kernel interfaces and easily breaks when
the kernel is upgraded, or when you install the fuse modules
on a different kernel build than what was used to compile
the fuse module.
