Booting Solaris directly from any Linux GRUB tends be complicated if not impossible. The best solution is to have Solaris place its GRUB on its own partition instead of the MBR (which, I believe, is what it does by default). After that, you add an entry to your Linux GRUB which simply passes control to the second GRUB instead of booting GRUB at once. In short, you get two GRUB screens before you can boot Solaris. I would have to look it up but it looks something like this:

title Solaris
rootnoverify (hdX,X)
chainloader +1
