The same reason why the grub menu on the install disk is in text mode rather than graphics mode, namely that it must support all non-EOLed Sun hardware. Linux and Windows don't have this problem since none of the companies behind the major Linux distros nor Microsoft are hardware companies as well as OS vendors. (There is a particular Sun server - I forget which model - which won't boot with grub in graphics mode). Cheers Andrew.
