Your patch didn't break my dual boot Linux + Sol8 x86 box.
It has about 8 slices in the Solaris partition.
Good - thanks!
I just tested it myself. Burned Solaris 8 install CDs,
[using ide-scsi, which worked fine for me under 2.6.0-test11 :-)],
installed and booted to see
hda2: <solaris: [s0] hda5 [s1] hda6 [s2] hda7 [s6] hda8 [s8] hda9 [s9] hda10 >
so that this particular install indeed uses 16 and not 8 slices.
Expect to submit this patch when development thaws again.
