at the moment there are afaik no other installers than the gui-install.
You can try it without a installer using pkg image-create and do
manually the post-install-steps and package installation but this is
really painfull and it take some time to get a bootable system. I think
the best way to install your box is just to netboot the system from an
older (open)solaris and use zfs send and zfs receive to transfer an
image installed on a local vm or other system.
