You can connect a null modem to ttyA. Then connect using a terminal software for example hyperteminal in windows, or tip from another solaris box to get a console connection. There are lots of examples of this on the web if you search for "Solaris serial console"

After installation you can control it using whatever login program you choose, though ssh would be a good and obvious choice.

Even without a graphics card Solaris will still give you a remote X login.
