I've seen such issues, but never on the "first" disk, only on second
and third on other controlers. Another person reported it happening
on the second disk on the primary controler.
The sun disk label is corrupted by this, fdisk needs to write a new
one before the full disk is usable. I did this after install to the
first disk.
More info is in some of my bugs to insall-reports.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
