Solaris will automatically recognize the Windows partition, but not Linux partition(s). After you install Solaris Express, you can edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, and add a chainloader pointing to your OpenSuSE boot partition. Once you are in OpenSuSE, as Gary pointed out, you can similarly edit your menu.lst file so that you can boot into Solaris from SuSE, and do a grub-install to rewrite your SuSE bootloader onto MBE. We assume that you are an experienced Linux user. If you need further details, plse let us know.
