Solaris, by default, installs Grub in the partition header. At least
some Linux's by default install grub in the Master Boot block.  When
you reinstalled Solaris it would have updated/installed grub in the
partition header and left the Grub in the Master Boot Block alone.  At
the grub menu you see, drop to the command line, select the solaris
partition as the root partition, do a chainloader +1, then boot.  The
Solaris grub menu should appear.  Suggest you add a Solaris option to
the menu.lst in Unbunto, using the chainloader +1 to boot it.
