Correct, the 64-bit kmdb patch procedure 
doesn't work when you boot a 32-bit domU.

Daniel must use the 32-bit vesion of the kmdb patch...

It's a bit difficult to patch that into the 32-bit kernel module
file, because the new 0x403 value needs more space
than we have available.  (There's no such problem with
the 64-bit kernel)

But: the same 32-bit kmdb patch can be used to boot the
installed domU, and as a next step you can bfu the whole
SXCE domU to something newer than build 87;  after
the bfu upgrade of the system the kmdb patch wouldn't
be necessary any more.
(or just start SXCE domU installation with a current build).

And it seems that for OpenSolaris 2008.05 you can now
update to build 90, see this thread (and note the special
grub mbr  installation instructions at the end):
