OK, I now have Solaris 10 installed on a 2nd internal HD. However,
when I attempted to modify the grub boot loader I am stymied by the
way FC3 set up my system.
The grub entyr I put in is:
title Solaris 10
rootnoverify (hd3,1)
If this is indeed your second internal HD (well should be because your
BIOS can only access the first two HDs), it should be (hd1,1) -- grub
configuration is done from a BIOS point of view.

chainloader +1
Because I now have Sol10 on /dev/hdc, partition 1
Did it install its bootloader at the beginning of the first partition or
into the MBR of that disk?
But FC3 configured my system with the internal drive as an LVM (smart,
I liked that, but now it's a new wrinkle).
So my fstab is this:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrw_dvdr auto
noauto,user,exec,managed,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto
noauto,user,exec,managed 0 0
So when I attempt to perform the following sequence, grub does not
recognize any of the drives I am calling for.
Do you mean it refuses to install the MBR or that booting Solaris
doesn't work (I'd expect that it wouldn't given your config above) or
that booting in general doesn't work?
