last i checked only the (open)solaris version of grub can boot (open)solaris. i believe that sun is working to the modifications required to boot solaris into the standard grub source tree.

1. you can chainload the solaris grub. opensolaris entry in freebsd:

title OpenSolaris 2008.05 snv_86_rc3 X86
root (hd0,2)
chainloader +1


2. or you can reinstall the solaris grub into mbr and use it instead. boot solaris and run:

# /sbin/installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/cXdYs0
