I have a Sun Blade 1000 with Solaris9 on one disk and Solaris10 on

yes.

How do I name them? The second installation - Solaris9 - chose
different names for the disks than the Solaris10 installation, and
now I can't find the Solaris10 slices when I'm booted in 9 (but I
can boot both).

'format' will show you what disks are available, and the partition
table as well if you need that.
