As I said before, get the Solaris Driver, create the DU diskette, and load

ok at the historical development
of the naming scheme, but I think you're trying to read to much into this.
There are separate names for different purposes.
Just use p* from fdisk.
Just use s* to refer to Solaris slices.
Just use d0 for zfs to refer to the whole drive.
