The problem is, the Solaris GRUB does not see extended partitions, and any changes made to Solaris GRUB must also address this aspect. For the present moment, it is better to continue with Linux GRUB (if Linux is installed in the box). All that is needed in the Belenix installer is to have an option for not installing Solaris GRUB on MBR (just like FreeBSD). By default the Caiman installer puts the Solaris boot record on the installed partition. So it the Solaris partition can be satisfactorily chain loaded from Linux GRUB. Bish
