Thanks for responding.

yes, I have looked at it. However my steps are little different. I have
installed refit. I shrinked the partition using diskutil command (not gparted).
Since I installed Fedora 10 on it so I used fdisk from fedora 10 (similar to
what is mentioned using gparted cd). I created the Solaris2 parition (bf), made
it active.

Linux installation just went fine in new partition. OpenSolaris installation
fails because of fdisk issues. I think I might have to use mac boot cd and try
to partition again.

Regards,
Basant.
