This output indicates that you do not have the disk controller in
AHCI mode.  If you did, the device name would have a target in it,
making it something like /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0 .

These are Solaris partions, now called slices.  They are within a
single FDISK partition.  You can use the partition command within
