Yes, OpenSolaris does automatically install a bootloader, however it does not touch the MBR. It does this:
1. Installs its own version of grub at the beginning of the newly created OpenSolaris partition. 2. Modified the partition table so that the active flag is set on the OpenSolaris partition and cleared on any other partitions on the disk. With a standard MBR, this has the effect of causing the OpenSolaris version of grub to become the primary bootloader.To get back to using the Linux version of grub as the main bootloader you simply set the Linux partition as the active partition again. Once you have done this you need to modify the Linux grub menu by adding an entry to chainload the OpenSolaris version of grub in order to boot OpenSolaris. (The Linux version of grub does not support Solaris/BSD sub-partitions (aka slices), nor does it have a ZFS filesystem reader).
