I've just tried v2.6.0 with the recent ldstub patch applied and it looks from the output above that you're using an incorrect format to put down the disk label. I see the following:

Searching disks for upgradable Solaris root devices...
No Upgradable Solaris root devices were found.

Searching for locations to accommodate a temporary copy of the Solaris
installation software. Swap slices are usually erased at reboot, so it is
preferable to place the Solaris installation software on slice labeled swap.

No swap slices that begin at the first usable cylinder have enough space
to accommodate a temporary copy of the Solaris installation software.

Using a slice that begins at the first usable cylinder allows the most
flexibility during filesystem layout. If you are doing an initial install and
you are not preserving any filesystems, you can re-partition a disk with the
swap slice starting at the first usable cylinder.

Would you like to re-partition a disk? [y,n,?,q] y

The default root disk is /dev/dsk/c0t0d0.
The selected disk will be re-partitioned before the Solaris installation
software is copied to the disk.

WARNING: ALL INFORMATION ON THE DISK WILL BE ERASED!

Do you want to re-partition /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 [y,n,?,q] y

NOTE: The swap size cannot be changed during file system layout.

Enter a swap slice size between 158MB and 34729MB, default = 512MB [?]

Placing the swap slice at the beginning of the disk will allow the most flexible file system partitioning later in the installation.

Can the swap slice start at the beginning of the disk [y,n,?,q] y
Confirm Information:

        Disk Slice : /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1
        Size : 512 MB
        Start Cyl. : 0

WARNING: ALL INFORMATION ON THE DISK WILL BE ERASED!

Is this OK [y,n,?,q] y

Comparing your output with mine I can see two obvious differences:

1) You are using a different version of Solaris to label the disk in a way that can't be understood by Solaris 9

2) You've mistyped the "Physical number of heads" as 27 rather than accepting the default

ATB,

Mark.
