Seagate Barracuda 160gb disk (PN ST3160023A) is seen as only 500mb by Solaris 9 on an Ultra 10!!

How can this be!!!

I'm doing the following:

ok> boot net -s
*/<system boots to network single user mode>
/*# format
wrong magic number, etc, etc, etc
> label
/*<All is now done>
*/
The problem now is that the system thinks that the disk is only 500mb,
so the disk geometry is incorrect.

I took at look at the specs at seagate.com and saw that the geometry
sould be 16383/16/63 (Cyl Head Sectors) but this still only gives me 7.89gb.

I'm at my wit's end with this, can anyone help??
