That is good enough. That is your problem right there. Solaris doesn't
recognise this partition type. FreeBSD I think does.
I'm not sure what you can do to get Solaris to recognise this. If there
is a non destructive way under Linux to change this to an EFI partition
that would be a good way to start.
ZFS should just find this as /dev/dsk/c?t?d?p1 if the structures really
are unrecognizable as a zpool device (on x86 only - won't work on
sparc). I haven't tried importing in this way, but I'm pretty sure I
have created zpools on raw primary fdisk partitions.
I doubt that simply changing the tag from Linux (32) to Solaris2 (191)
would be enough since you would lack the vtoc in there.
You really don't want it to be a partition type Solaris recognizes as
something else.
Plus ideally
you want this as EFI unless you need to put OpenSolaris into that pool
to boot from it - but sounds like you don't.
