Build a rescue image that supports serial console.
This has been available on linux for quite a while.

This works just fine on Solaris also, as long as you
are able to remotely
reboot the system (and/or power cycle it)

What about when the system does not come up after
POSTing?

In a linux environment, we can use pxe to get pxegrub
with serial console support and we manually tell it to
load a linux kernel image and a rescue image or it
could be preset to load  a linux kernel image and a
rescue image with serial console support.

You mean like the "Solaris failsafe" entry on the GRUB menu (either locally or the one gathered using PXE) of Solaris Express installs and the similar entries on Nextena and Belenix ?
