I had this, too. But I doesn't remember the fix. Do you play with Linux
and Solaris on the same disk ? Or was there a msdos partition table on
the harddisk ?
You should try "silo -f". But as far as I remember, the only solution was
to clear the first sector on the hard disk and make a new installation.

Did you use the automatic partitioner or the customize partitoner from
YaST2 ? I never saw this before.
What was the YaST2 output, where it will install silo ?
