Installing Solaris in Bran new Hard disk..

If the HDD is fresh and never been formatted before (not sure about Solaris 8) but in Solaris 7 after you go through some basic install steps it'll place you into the prompt and from there it's easy as.
#format
Then select label the disk (Option 4 off top of head)
once HDD is labelled then you can verify it's done
Right click on screen and select restart install and it'll pick up from where it left off.
(If this is wrong well it's 0200 here and I'm not thinking straight)
As for the slices and how you want to partition the disk it'll ask you in teh format. Normally right near the end. You can select auto partition or manually partition your drive.

REPARTITION(8) System Manager's Manual REPARTITION(8) NAME
repartition - load a partition table SYNOPSIS
repartition device [partition-file] DESCRIPTION
Repartition uploads a new partition table for the partitions of device. The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if given, device otherwise. Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload a partition or a subpartition table. The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers are coming from partition-file. EXAMPLES
repartition /dev/hd0 repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file. The latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you. DIAGNOSTICS
The new table is printed on standard output. FILES
/dev/hd[0-9] SEE ALSO
hd(4), part(8). BUGS
The disk must be in use for the changes to stick. The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open. AUTHOR
