Jen: You probably run into this bug:
5721 - grub menu issue with machines that had both console and tipline Anyway, initial triage seems to indicate that the "text boot" entry in the GRUB menu.lst file should be set as the default if installadm create-client is invoked with -b "console=ttyX" You can update the bug and add yourself in the bug interest list.
