Is that opensolaris bug 2133?
    http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2133

Or bug  6711786?

The Solaris ata driver truncates the drive's real capacity by a few sectors
(due to CHS rounding errors); and gets into trouble when the Solaris partition
is the last fdisk partition on the disk.  I think the best workaround is to
decrease the size of the Solaris fdisk partition by one or two MBs in the
GUI window (leaving a MB or two unused at the end of the disk).
