opensolaris not seen after suse loaded

I have gparted on my system and i have opensolaris running in one partition. I loaded Suse on another partition but now I don get my grub menu so i can select my boot image. I only get the suse grub menu. I posted to their site too...

How can i get back to my opensolaris to put suse in its grub menu?

I also plan on loading redhat on this system at some point and dont want the same thing to happen...

i booted from my gparted cd and the partitions are still there. Now the question is how to get back to a boot option on them...
I tried booting from the cd i can get into the cd live version but do not know how to mount the local hd to check its settings.

So I booted suse into safe mode and i notice grub is used here too. I am guessing i have to change the menu.lst file. I want to use my opensolaris grub menu? How do I change suse from being the default boot/grub loader?
I tried this in the suse menu.lst but it gave an error

title Boot OpenSolaris
rootnotify (hd0)
chainloader +1

This is what my solaris menu.lst had in it. However it wont boot.

I removed the suse partition and now i get

GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading , please wait
Error 22

Suggest : Use "Smart Boot Manager" to boot into what is left
on your HD (Solaris)

Solaris : my "grub menu.lst" is in /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
and has this text :

Quote:

splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
timeout 30
default 0
#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------
title OpenSolaris 2008.05 snv_86_rc3 X86

kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive
#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------

Linux's installed after OpenSolaris do not include Solaris
( or Free-BSD) in the grub menu.lst , but all other Linux
( 5-6 OS's on my Solaris computer).

So I am just using "Smart Boot Manager" as default boot loader.
Use it on floppy or cdrom, or install to HD

Suse and other Linux (Redhat) could be installed with the
option to boot from "superblock" = the install partition
(with no grub installed in MBR) to have the possibility
to be found by any chainloader.

Installing all OS's boot loaders to MBR : it will just be
overwritten at every new install.

When you find your way to boot into on of your OS's you
can run 'grub' > 'setup' to reinstall grub.
( See the grub dokumentation )
