yes.

Very important : See the Silo readme in /usr/doc the boot partitions of both
Solaris and Linux must be on the same first 1Go of the disk. because there is
a bug in eprom.
So you must have 
/dev/sda1 450mo -> solaris /
/dev/sda2 450mo -> linux /
/dev/sda3 xxxxMo -> solaris /usr
/dev/sdaYY xxxxMo -> solaris or linux  /usr local home or other

install solaris first, and ask for a second partition /linux than install
linux : reformat this partition and install it.
than configure silo

No problem :

mount -t ufs /dev/sdxx /export
