Linux/SPARC does not have LILO, only SILO. There are no problems
if you install Solaris and Linux on different disks, you can use
the PROM boot commandline to boot from the right harddisk.
If you wish to install them on the same disk, install at first Solaris
at the beginning of the disk. Then install Linux on the free space.
You can boot with "disk:<partition>" the right OS (or you create some
aliases).
