Yes, don't run such old operating system.  Solaris 7 and 8 support
EIDE disks larger than 8GB, Solaris 8 10/00 and later support
larger than 32GB.

That's not true unless you asked specifically about an Ultra 10
running Solaris 2.6.

Of course if you've labeled the disk it will remain 8GB until
you trash the label and re-label the disk, the OS will always
use a valid label even if it doesn't describe the full disk.
Trash the first few blocks of the disk by running dd from /dev/zero
to a raw disk slice that starts at block zero on the disk.
