Start with a knoppix live-cd.

sudo su
man grub-install
call grub-install <options> <dev> (/dev/hda or wherever you are booting
from)

Try booting the OpenSolaris live-cd, and using the format(1M)
command to mark the Solaris2 partition the active partition.

If that doesn't work, you probably need to manually run
installgrub. To do this, boot back into the live-cd media,
import your pool, and install grub onto the slice used for
your pool:

# zpool import -f rpool
# mount -F zfs <dataset_of_your_root> /a
# /sbin/installgrub /a/boot/grub/stage1 /a/boot/grub/stage2 \
</dev/r

where </dev/r is the raw-device of the slice used
for rpool. ("zpool status" will show you that)

If you've re-installed windows on a different partition, you
will need to adjust its Grub menu entry in your existing
OpenSolaris instance.
