Solaris's `fdisk` is the perfect tool for the task at hand in this particular case. If you still have your CF install, boot off of the CD or DVD and choose "single user shell", then run `format -e` to see which device is your disk. Once you have your target device, exit `format`, and run: `fdisk /dev/rdsk/c#[t#]d#p0` In `fdisk`, you'll see an option to make a partition active. If everything else is OK, that'll fix your problem.
