Due to limitations in the number of logical blocks that can be addressed (partition size limit) and in the format and scsi driver program, you have a couple of limitations. On Sun 3 architectures the maximum partition size is about 669 MB; the biggest drive that you can connect to the machines is about 1 GB (formatted capacity). So you should be ok if you use a 1.2 GB drive - it formats to about 1.07 GB. Make your partitions smaller than 660 MB and you are not likely to run into problems there, either. There are a couple of bug fixes fort this, but I do not know whether they are available for Sun 3 architectures.
