Using the 2009.6 iso inside a virtual box I'm unable to boot into the

When I let the grub prompt timeout, to ensure I'm using the default I
see the little dots marking the extraction of the kernel and os. But
then it just pops to a text screen showing version info. No bootup
happens at all.
Using the text option... I can get booted... but far as I know there
is no text based installer... is there?
Screen shots of grub prompt, final text window and basic virtualbox

Does choosing "VESA Driver" option help ? From the build 118 repository
update announcement,
6854482 Xorg 1.6 doesn't try vesa by default
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6854482
When the OpenSolaris Live CD is booted under VirtualBox, the
Xorg server is not started automatically.
Work-around: When the initial GRUB menu appears, select the
"OpenSolaris 2009.06 VESA driver" option.
