Can you post the output from " fdisk -R -W - /dev/rdsk/c4d0p0"?
I'd like to see the disk dimensions (sectors/track, track/cylinder,
cylinders) and the existing fdisk partition entries at the end.
You can leave out the list of "sysid: 1 DOSOS12 ... 239: EFI_FS".
E.g. something like this:
# fdisk -R -W - /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0
* /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0 default fdisk table
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 63 sectors/track
* 255 tracks/cylinder
* 48641 cylinders
...
* Id Act Bhead Bsect Bcyl Ehead Esect Ecyl Rsect Numsect

You did use option "5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit)"
in fdisk, before restarting the GUI installer?
