hi there !
so your boot sequence is bios -> grub -> reset - bios -> grub etc ?
any other controllers (maybe ide) / hdds which are before the sata in the boot sequence?

Solaris 10 is not booting

just enter the following commands if it is an x86 based system

root (hd0,0,a)

kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot

module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive

boot

after u run these commands the OS will come up. Ensure to check if the partition is 0 from command 1
