Default 36GB disk is really 18GB.

A friend has a Sun barcoded (540-4689) hard drive, made by Fujitsu.
Unless I am very much mistaken, the disk is half the capacity marked on
the drive.

When installing Solaris 10 it appeared to be 18 GB, not 36 GB as he
thought it was. After Solaris was installed I run format and see this
(ignore disk 1, only consider disk 0).

# format
Searching for disks...done

c1t1d0: configured with capacity of 68.36GB


AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/sd@0,0
1. c1t1d0 <SEAGATE-ST373307LC-0007 cyl 49780 alt 2 hd 4 sec 720>
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/sd@1,0

Note disk 0 is 18GB, which agrees with what the Solaris install program
thought.

Yet the disk is marked 36 GB and the P/N indicates it is 36 GB.

This is the markings on the disk. Is this a one-off?
