Linux and FreeBSD are quite often far more useful than Solaris x86.

Maybe, maybe not. It definately appears to have a valid partition
table, so it just may be that it uses the same partition type as Linux
uses for it's swap files. You definately won't be able to mount this
as is, but you may have some luck if you recompile your kernel
(especially using a late 2.1.x) and look into the Sun partition table
support and the UFS support. It may work, it may not (read the help,
it should tell what it supports and what it doesn't support.)

That's definately wrong. You never do the fdisk on a partition, you
instead do it on the drive device - /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1. You were
right the first time ...
