As long as I say on the linux partition boot sector it means:
setup (hd0,2)
after of course,
root (hd0,2)

What makes:

root (hd0,2)
setup (hd0,2)


Do not the setup (hd0) because you would overwrite the solaris' grub on mbr.

And the next step is inside menu.lst or grub.conf from solaris' grub to
add something as:

title MY LINUX MENU
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
boot
