I used 'dd' to backup the MBR of my primary hard disk thus:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/disk/sda.boot.mbr bs=512 count=1
Upon restore I should have received:
/dev/sda1 * 1 996 8000338+ 82 Linux swap /
Solaris
/dev/sda2 997 14593 109217902+ 5

I thought the partition information resided on the MBR and backing that
up would cover it all. I guess I misinterpreted the MBR reference
materials.
Thanks for the help,
