This suggestion of relabeling the >1TB disks using an EFI label doesn't work 
for me --- when OpenSolaris produces the "disk has 2930277168 blocks, which is 
too large for a 32-bit kernel" error, it doesn't register any block devices for 
that disk, so there's no way to specify to "format -e" which disk you'd like to 
relabel.

I was able to temporarily use a 64bit machine to relabel disks with EFI --- 
this didn't work either; the 32bit machine still produces the same error 
message after the disk has been relabeled with EFI.

According to 
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2723/disksconcepts-14#disksconcepts-22 , 
the only way to support >1TB disks is with a 64bit kernel.
