Hrm.. have you taken the case off to check if you have power to the disk and that the ribbon-cable is connected ok?
If you do STOP+A and run probe-ide (or probe-scsi all if you have SCSI drive) do you get anything recognised at all?

Go to ok-prompt. 1.) set-defaults 2.) reset 3.)show-disks Shows this command the disk? Yes - select it. Try to install Solaris, if this fail boot from CD and create one partition on the disk, label it -don't forget to save the layout- and make an newfs on it. And now try to install - it will work!
If 3.) shows you no disk, HDD will not recognise by system mabye disk has no power, defect or is not jumpered as cable-select.
