     This is easy.  Just put them in different partitions, and setup
/etc/{v,}fstab appropriately.  They can probably share the swap
partition.  When booting the system, type 'boot disk:a' for the first
OS and 'boot disk:<whatever>' for the second OS.  Try googling for
something like 'solaris linux sparc dual boot' and you should get some
useful info.
