Hello, 1) It's very odd that you saw a splash image, as you're right, they're not supposed to be enabled for the text install images. ttya consoles don't yet work by default either, due to known bug 14964 - a workaround is listed here: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14964#c0
2) When you reached the login screen, was it the 'opensolaris console login' or, were you presented with a menu of choices (similar to the keyboard/language selection)? If it was the former, can you login as user: jack, password: jack, and send the output of "svcs -xv install-setup"? 3) The command to run the installer manually is /usr/bin/text-install. Based on your concerns, perhaps the wrong image was hosted/used. Where did you pull the image from?
