Me neither.  I tested my setup of tftp/dhcp/nfs etc with a net install
of Solaris 10 u11 and that works fine. That is actually using grub from
way back at version 1.97 ( or there abouts ) however it was madly hacked
inside Sun and then more hackary was done during the OpenSolaris
project. Definately grub. I should go have a look and see if I have the
sources laying about somewhere.  Could be useful.

Regardless ... I will keep poking at this with a stick and see what I
 can come up with.
