Responding to my own question. I further played around and finally got 
it working as follows:

	/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
	cdrw -vl

	Get the correct device form the list

	mkfs -F udfs /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s0
	mount -F udfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2 /mnt
	touch /mnt/Test
	ls /mnt
	...
	umount /mnt

This seems to work, though I have no idea what an udfs filesystem is. I 
just hope that it will be able to hold our home dirs.

Regards,

   Andreas
