Try the following:

Start format with the -e option

format -e

select your disk, then relabel

label

choose "Auto configuration via generic SCSI-2"

Does it still show up as 18GB disk? If yes, go to the scsi menu

scsi

and do an inquiry

inquiry

The output from the inquiry command should enlighten what model is really
used.

BTW the "SUN18G" is just a magic string in the inquiry to "beautify" the
VTOC and make the real vendor invisible.
