The problem is there's no option during install to say "no graphics" so during
firstboot it's going to try anyhow. At which point my console is hosed and I
can't login to execute svcadm.

The rather lengthy install time, long boot, and very warm casing tell me I was
asking too much of the hardware. Maybe if I'd switched to UFS I would lighten
load but ZFS boot is a major reason for attempting Nevada in the first place.
I'm a Solaris admin at a datacenter, we use 10u6 now in a few production
systems and it works OK on even a NetraT1 with 2 gigs RAM for a few admin
services. I could have booted single/failsafe and sorted things out but why?
It became obvious to me at some point this wasn't worth fighting.
An Atom like the Asus EEE Box would be a better minimum choice. I like my
hardware a bit more lean & mean & fanless though for small jobs.
