SuSE 9.1 doesn't "see" Solaris 10

I have a big problem right now...I have just managed to install SuSE 9.1... It was the first to recognize my SATA (Slack and RedHat didn't), but I have another partition ( /dev/sda3), with Solaris 10.
What can I do?

on "fdisk -l" it sees /dev/sda1 as NTFS => Windows
/dev/sda5 and sda6 as NTFS (D: and E

/dev/sda7 ext3 (SuSE)
/dev/sda8 Linux swap
and the /dev/sda3 , which should be the Solaris, says: File System UNKNOWN

What can i do?

UFS filesystem support needs to be enabled in the kernel. If it's not on by default, you will need to enable it and recompile the kernel. Solaris uses UFS by default.

modprobe ufs
mount -t ufs /dev/sda3 /mnt/solaris

Here is a detailed write up on the subject.

Be carefull to write to a disk with UFS on its still a unstable module and its very likely that u damage the file system mount it read only I had fucked up a couplle of boxes that way
