Sun's Xserver needs keyboard and mouse connected - otherwise it does not start.
Also the correct graphics driver must be installed. That means it should be included in the imstall image. (If not, install a later OS - the later the OS, the more drivers are included. Solaris 9 or 10 should have it.)
You can install the OS without an Xserver:
and install the graphics driver later.
(BTW the generic graphics drivers are bad - after installation should be updated/patched.)
