Did you cheked compatbility with your machine with Oracle detection tool ?

Solaris first prompt for CLI login and if there is no input X session is starrted automatically so you can login in GUI mode.

But if you want master Solaris you must at CLI because there is no GUI in LOM.

Did you check your hardware is supported ?
BigAdmin HCL: Oracle Device Detection Tool
To stop before the blank screen issue happen, you can boot in single user mode. x86: How to Boot a System to Run Level S (Single-User Level) (System Administration Guide: Basic Administration) - Sun Microsystems
From there you can disable the graphic environment by running that command:
Code:
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d

Have a look at the X11 log file for clues:
Code:
grep EE /var/logs/Xorg.0.log
