And I assume the booted Solaris system uses all three of those
partitions (0, 6, and 7)?

I've done a NetBSD/sparc install on a zip disk, so I know it can be
done in 96 megs.  I had to trim a few things, but you certainly can get
a system with enough marbles to be sure that it works and finish the
install.

Of course, that begs the question of finding that big a chunk of the
disk to do this in.  400 megs is pretty constraining (and yes, if the c
partition is 828720 sectors, that's about 400 megs).

Unless you're in Montreal, in which case I can help you in person.  But
that's rather unlikely. :-(
