Linux considers partition code 82 to be swap space, but code 82 is also Solaris 10 X86 (and previous) used for its partition code on X86. In your case, I suspect /dev/hda1 is your Solaris partition so you just have to boot into linux and modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to create a "chainloader" entry to boot Solaris. Something like this:
title Solaris
root (hd0,1)<== Solaris partition
chainloader +1

Grub has an interactive shell mode which allows you to experiment a bit.
You might be interested in knowing that recent Solaris Express (Nevada) releases have an integrated Grub which recognizes slices.This article explains this:

Hello,
Thanks for that. I have done it.. But i have find an alternative way, its also easy, I have solaris 10 in my /dev/sda1 & linux /dev/sda2 , but when you install the linux, you can do it on that time . When the screen appear " which you want to default boot ? linux or others , " on that area just click add button & add /dev/sda1 then after complete the instalation you can view dual boot system. Is not easy?

I am installing something in sun T2K and encounter the peoblem like below: I am running 'init 6' command, and then the workstation can't start again.
/: unexpected free inode 1583, run fsck(1M) -o f
WARNING: exec(/sbin/init) failed with errno 5.
(Could not start init) Program terminated
Who knows what's wrong with it? and how to resolve it?
Thanks.
