Thanks to the following people for answering my question:

Steve Hanson hanson@pogo.fnal.gov
Brian Herzog herzog@dobbs.Eng.Sun.COM

While I haven't tried it yet, moving a disk from a 4.1.x system to
a solaris 2.1 system should not require reformatting. If you are planning
to install an os on the disk, you will probably want to repartition, though.
