Hmmm...

Solaris x86 unfortunately would require 2 slices (errmm... primary
partitions) - the first one for the boot files (? forgot the term - I
haven't touched Solaris x86 for two years already), then the next slice
is for Solaris itself.  You can then start installing Linux on the
remaining slices err primary partitions.

Once that chore has been done, you can instruct lilo to chainload the
Solaris bootloader (hint: use the 'other' directive in lilo), similar to
how you dualboot for the other jealous OS.
