i'm not agree with you, in SXDE3, you can choose the slices you want, 
and preserve existing slices. That's what i did, preserving slice 0 ans 
slice 1 used by Indiana.

I'm trying to be more clear on what i want to do:
- one disk on my laptop
- i don't want to have two differents "fdisk" partitions, because i 
don't want to manage 2 different sizes (for many reasons, now i'm using 
mainly SXDE, but if Indiana become very interesting, i want to switch 
without reinstalling because a partition will be to small). And i don't 
want to follow the way Bob Netherton show me in 
http://blogs.sun.com/bobn/date/20051014)
- Having only one partition, i have to install Indiana first, because it 
take all the partition, then growing this partition to have place to 
create new slices (solaris slices in this case).
For me, Indiana has to write in the MBR and in s0 to make grub fully 
fonctionnal. Then SXDE writes in the MBR and in slice 3. So i just have 
to chainload to slice 3, i.e. "root (hd0,1,a)", are my presomptions correct?
But when doing this, grub display:
root (hd0,1,a)
Filesystem type unknown, parition type 0xbf
makeactive
chainloader +1

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported format

Thanks for reply,
