You can use the "format" command with the "-e" (expert)
Option, select a "drive type" of "other" and manually
Configure the number of cylinders, heads and sectors to
(you may have to play with the values to maximize the 
size of the drive. You will then have to partition
The disk as you need it (1 partition, 2 etc).
Example is documented in B0700DM document.

Subject: [foxboro] formatting USB hard drive, Solaris 8

I am trying to do the SBAR Solaris backups Foxboro released. I cannot
seem to format my hard drive correctly. I did not wasn't to pay the
markup fro Foxboro for their drive, so I went with a 500GB LaCie I
purchased elsewhere. Can anyone help me figure out how to format this?
Thanks.
