In your example, c6d1 would refer to the entire disk and c6d1p0 would refer to the first primary partition.
Sorry, but that's not correct.

/dev/dsk/cXdYp0 refers to the _whole_ disk as I said earlier.

p1, p2, p3, p4 refer to the primary partitions.

p0:1 or p0:c refers to the first logical partition

p0:2 or p0:d refers to the second logical partition and so on ...

please refer mount_pcfs(1M)
