I'd also double check what "prtvtoc" reports for your EFI labled disk.

AFAIK, as soon as the disk has a valid EFI label, the partitions defined
in the EFI label are used for the "c?t?d?s?" slices, and an fdisk partition
tagged with 0xBF is more or less ignored.

OTOH, there used to be a problem that Solaris x86 didn't know about
the UUID tag used for the MacOS X EFI partition and was (still is?)
presenting the space used by MacOS X HFS+ as free space; see bug
6374985 (which is closed a a duplicate, but what is the original bug, and
is that original bug fixed?)
