There is no 'text mode installer' for OpenSolaris. It's something we haven't gotten to yet. So, what you're seeing when you select text boot in grub is precisely what you should see. As for the graphical failure, you could try setting up VESA mode as described: http://blogs.sun.com/sch/entry/indiana_vesa_if_you_need Or you can boot the liveCD/USB, enable ssh and then from another box ssh in with X forwarding enabled and run the gui-installer that way (/usr/bin/gui-install). Provided of course that the network interface for the machine is recognized and configured by nwam (not sure what the state of play is for the Asus 1000HE hardware is these days).
