When?
What platform?
What disks?

No.

The installation process will label the disk, which will solve the problem.
If it's coming from a disk which you aren't installing on to, then label
the disk using format(1M) (or fmthard(1M) for a lower level utility).

Have you even tried to boot form the Solaris media?

This is starting to look like a long running troll.
