Hmm, but Solaris doesn't seem to be using a sata driver?

For a sata device, I would expect that the disk name looks
more like "c4t0d0"...

What kind of chipset is used in your computer?
Was that a Dell GX630?  I've not yet found specs
for such a system on Dell's website...

Maybe S-ATA mode is disabled in the system's BIOS;
that would explain why Solaris' pata driver "ata" is
used for the "c4d0" device...

Hmm, so that looks like you are trying to use the 3rd primary
fdisk partition entry.  Should be ok.
