Ok, I think I found what I was looking for (see below).  However,
I'm sill wondering why there isn't a text mode menu by default
when booting up an x86 with opensolaris 111a ...

/boot/grub
9 #: cat menu.lst
...
# To enable grub serial console to ttya uncomment the following lines
# and comment out the splashimage line below
# WARNING: don't enable grub serial console when BIOS console serial
#       redirection is active!!!
    serial --unit=0 --speed=9600
    terminal serial
#
# Uncomment the following line to enable GRUB splashimage on console
#   splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#
