You nailed it Kyle. Using that little tidbit, I was able to edit the Grub
commands in the MBR, remove the Splashscreen, Colors and Console=Graphics lines
from the BootAdm section and boot into my existing OpenSol b134 system. I
removed them permanently from the installed menu.lst from RPOOL and can now
boot in at will, and quickly.
Thank you Kyle! You saved me from an enormous amount of frustration.

P.S. You don't have a Radeon-based graphics card, do you? Looking for a
commonality that may have generated this symptom. I have a 1GB, GDDR3 Radeon
4670 in my laptop.
