That's because grub was first installed to /dev/sda -> sda1 while there
was no Suse. The MBR grub code points to sda1, where you get the Solaris
grub menu.

No. Instead: grub-install /dev/sda

I rarely use cfdisk, but I don't believe that syntax is valid. Instead:
cfdisk /dev/sda, then use the menu to change the type on sda1 to 83 (or
<whatever>).

Yes
