On the MBR on the same disk that contains the OpenSolaris fdisk partition that gets installed (that is, in your case, the second disk). > 2.

You can't tell the opensolaris installer where to put the grub bootcode. The MBR boot code installed by OpenSolaris also has the special requirement that the boot disk is bios drive 0x80 / C: > 3.

You can't tell the OpenSolaris installer to put the MBR boot code and grub on another disk. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
