Maybe there is a (n invisible) control character on one of the lines. View in
a hexeditor, fe midnight commander (F3 view, F4 hex, (F2 edit)). Or just
recreate the file from scratch.

The filesystem you are trying to mount is a swap file, with the magic number
0x82:
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
> /dev/sdb1 * 1 1018 4164120 82 Linux swap
So you either never set up a solaris partition on /dev/sdb1, or you have
overwritten it (or at least the filesystem identifier in the partition table)
with a linux swap file. If you didn't format this swap partition you might try
to just toggle the filesystem identifier (man fdisk) to the correct one for
the Solaris x86 filesystem. I don't know the identifier number for this
filesystem.
Bye,
Leonard.
