No one has needed to.  You get on Solaris FAT partition, with multiple
*slices* inside that partition.  But these days with ZFS you don't even
need to do that... typically you just let ZFS carve up a root pool
however it wants to, and have different filesystems within that pool
(which could be multiple boot environments.)

Maybe if we understood what problem you're trying to solve with multiple
partitions, we could help better?
