PBR means Partition Boot Record, ie the first sector of a partition.

Either:
 (1) there is no pboot/bootblk installed on the Solaris partition, or
 (2) Solaris partition is not on the boot drive.

To solve (1) use installboot. To solve (2) change boot sequence
in BIOS.

Anyways, have you tried to use DCA disk (floppy or cd) to boot
this Solaris partition?

Check http://multiboot.solaris-x86.org

Hope this helps
