I'm going to set my grub menu thus and then PXE boot :
default=0
timeout=30
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600
terminal --timeout=15 serial console
title OpenSolaris snv_64a ttya
kernel (nd)/boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -v -B
install_media=172.31.254.249:/mnt,console=ttya
module (nd)/boot/x86.miniroot
title OpenSolaris snv_64a DVD ttya
kernel (nd)/boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -v -B
install_media=cdrom,console=ttya
module (nd)/boot/x86.miniroot
I think that the installer will still fail even in text mode.
Nothing like a test to prove that however.
