Assuming you didn't choose for Solaris to use the whole disk, your Linux installation is still there and you can chainload its boot loader from Solaris grub. If you are unfamiliar with Grub2, you can simply put a legacy grub configuration file in /rpool/grub/boot/grub.conf. Put the chainload directive there.
Its entries will show up at the end of the Grub2 boot menu.

So what it did to make it put itself into a wait state or what ever it is in because I cannot see a screen telling me what it is really doing just that splash shutdown screen with the red line that hangs when it gets to a point about 10 to 20 % LEFT TO DO.
You can switch to text mode, verbose and debugging boot mode. Modify the line that shows something like:
Code:
$multiboot /ROOT/solaris/@/$kern $kern -B console=graphics -B $zfs_bootfs

to
Code:
$multiboot /ROOT/solaris/@/$kern $kern -B console=text -kv -m verbose -B $zfs_bootfs

This will help you figuring out why it is taking so much time booting. If you disable the GUI, you might also see error/warning messages during the shutdown.

I did notice it takes for ever to boot up too
Solaris first boot after installation is much longer than the remaining boots. That is because a lost of smf initialization tasks are done at that step.

Even Windows I fear is faster at boot up time and shut down time even than Solaris is.
If your Solaris installation takes forever to shutdown, it's no surprise any other OS is faster to do the same ...

installgrub

installgrub(1M) 														   installgrub(1M)

NAME

       installgrub - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppy

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/installgrub [-fm] stage1 stage2 raw-device

       The installgrub command is an -only program. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.

       installgrub  installs  GRUB  stage  1  and  stage  2  files on the boot area of a disk partition. If you specify the -m option, installgrub
       installs the stage 1 file on the master boot sector of the disk.

       The installgrub command accepts the following options:

       -f

	   Suppresses interaction when overwriting the master boot sector.

       -m

	   Installs GRUB stage1 on the master boot sector interactively.

       The installgrub command accepts the following operands:

       stage1

	   The name of the GRUB stage 1 file.

       stage2

	   The name of the GRUB stage 2 file.

       raw-device

	   The name of the device onto which GRUB code is to be installed. It must be a character device that is readable and writable.  For  disk
	   devices,  specify  the  slice  where  the  GRUB  menu  file	is  located.  (For Solaris it is the root slice.) For a floppy disk, it is
	   /dev/rdiskette.

       Example 1: Installing GRUB on a Hard Disk Slice

       The following command installs GRUB on a system where the root slice is c0d0s0:

       example# /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 
		/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0

       Example 2: Installing GRUB on a Floppy

       The following command installs GRUB on a formatted floppy:

       example# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
       # mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub
       # cp /boot/grub/* /mnt/boot/grub
       # umount /mnt
       # cd /boot/grub
       # /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdiskette

       /boot/grub

	   Directory where GRUB files reside.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Interface Stability	     |Evolving			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       boot(1M), fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M), kernel(1M), attributes(5)

       Installing GRUB on the master boot sector (-m option) overrides any boot manager currently installed on the machine. The system will always
       boot the GRUB in the Solaris partition regardless of which fdisk partition is active.
