It may just be a disc that expects VGA; most livecds/installers/etc wouldn't run terminals on every available serial port. But it obviously prints kernel stuff to the serial port -- maybe you can give the kernel init=/bin/bash or somesuch to run a console directly, which would presumably appear the same place the kernel output does.
Failing that, how hard would it be to add video to this machine, even just temporarily?

Greetings,
We are interested in the sparc T4-2, but have not seen too many people using it. Has anyone had any experience with it? Please let me know if you have. We are testing out the server with Oracle applications and wanted to see how it could handle 1000 or so sessions.
Thanks,

SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8) systemd-getty-generator SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the console
SYNOPSIS
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates serial-getty@.service on the kernel console(s), if they can function
as ttys and are not provided by the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer
consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is detected. If execution in a container environment is detected, it will instead
enable console-getty.service for /dev/console, and container-getty@.service instances for additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by
the container manager (see Container Interface[1]). This should ensure that the user is shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless
of which environment the system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line
argument such as console= to get both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[2] for more information
on the console= kernel parameter.
systemd-getty-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
Further information about configuration of gettys can be found in systemd for Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and
Elsewhere)[3].
