If this is indeed your second internal HD (well should be because your
BIOS can only access the first two HDs), it should be (hd1,1) -- grub
configuration is done from a BIOS point of view.

Did it install its bootloader at the beginning of the first partition or
into the MBR of that disk?

Do you mean it refuses to install the MBR or that booting Solaris
doesn't work (I'd expect that it wouldn't given your config above) or
that booting in general doesn't work?
