Solaris does not support Logical partitions in an extended partition.
p0 is the whole disk
p1 through p4 are the primary fdisk partitions
s0 through s15 are the Slices in the Solaris partition

There are no devices referring to the logical partitions.

I have detailed the meaning of the Solaris disk device aliases in my blog.
