In grub2 you have to specify the kernel type when loading, i.e.: "linux /boot/vmlinuz" or "multiboot /boot/mach.gz". > > Can grub2 load solaris 32 kernel? Is Solaris Multiboot-compatible? If not, you can try to use its own bootloader through the `chainloader' command. However, if grub1 could load it with "kernel", either there was a specific loader for it or the Solaris kernel was compatible with one of the grub1 loaders: try with all the grub2 loaders (multiboot, bsd, linux) and only then resort to chainloader.
You (or someone else) can also try to either port the grub1 Solaris loader (if it exists) or write a new grub2 loader for it but I don't know if the latter would be possible without specs. Besides, in order for such a new loader to be incorporable to the "official" grub2, the development process must follow some guidelines in order to avoid future legal problems, like "no reverse engineering" (maybe clean room techniques are OK, but I don't know the FSF policy) and so on.
