Using your bios diable the IDE drive were you installed redhat 8, then go ahead and start the install to the second IDE drive. this will save your mbr on the first drive. To boot either drive just change the setting in your bios to enable or disable the primary IDE drive.
ie. if it is enabled you will boot Redhat 8, and if disabled you will boot Solaris

also take care so.. sometimes linux swap likes to use the solaris root partition.
so disabling the bios and killing a disk may be a good idea.
