To mount your Solaris partition, do the following:
1. In the kernel config, enable --> File Systems  --> UFS file system
support (read only)
2. Recompile your kernel and reboot with the new kernel
3. Mount the partition as "ro" read-only, and/or add the following line into
your /etc/fstab (substitute /dev/sdb1 for your Solaris partition location,
and assuming you created a /mnt/solaris directory) if you'd like the
partition mounted automatically at boot:
# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>
<dump/pass>
/dev/sdb1      		/mnt/solaris      ufs             ro		0 0

That depends.  Both UFS and VxFS are supported read-only in Linux.
There is UFS write support available but it is considered dangerous.
