Solaris 10 and Linux dual boot

807559Oct 1 2006 — edited Oct 15 2008

I currently have Linux installed and would like to install Solaris 10 on the same system via a different H-drive. I would like to have both OS fully functional.
I have loaded Solaris 10 CD1 but unable boot into solaris to complete installation.
I have edited linux /boot/grub/menu, syntax outlined below.

title solaris in hdc1 known to grub as (hd1,0)
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

Still unable to boot up solaris getting error: 21
Here's my hardware configuration
Primary Mstr: 1 ide H-drive - Linux
Primary slave: n/a

Secondary mstr: 1 ide H-drive - Solaris 10
Slave: DVD

Thanks to all in advance!
