Since your Linux boot folder is in a separate partition, you should mount
/dev/hda5 to /mnt, and the correct grub-install command should be:
# grub-install --rootdirectory=/mnt /dev/hda5
This command will install the Linux boot loader into the first track of your
"boot" partition, which is /dev/hda5, or (hd0, 4) in grub.
To install the Linux boot loader into the MBR, the command is:
# grub-install --rootdirectory=/mnt /dev/hda
This command, of course, will overwrite your Solaris boot loader in the MBR.
To add Solaris boot loader into the Linux boot loader, simply add the following
lines to the end of your /boot/grub/menu.lst file:
title Solaris
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
Solaris is notorious for its strict standard-compliance (just wish all Linux
distros could do the same); it always installs stage2 of the grub boot loader
into the first sector of the Solaris partition. There is no need to do
anything (except editing the menu.lst file) to dual-boot Solaris from Linux.

Since you are already using the logical (extended) partitions, there is no
hda4. Furthermore, Solaris, as it is currently structured, can only utilize
one "fdisk" partition. Thus, you can only install Solaris in either hda2 or
hda3, but not both AFAIK.
