 From the information provided, it is not quite obvious if you are running
into the same problem Marco was hitting.
Could you please attach install_log file (located in 
/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log
on installed system) and your partition configuration as reported by Linux
and Solaris fdisk -W commands ?

$ pfexec fdisk -W - <disk_name>p0

For Linux:
#  fdisk -l /dev/<disk_name>

After reboot, can you see GRUB menu ? What it contains ?

Thank you,
Jan
