    Does your system have serial-over-LAN functionality available through
    IPMI?  I would recommend trying to get the system to boot using the
    serial port as the console -- that way, when the text flashes up
    you'll be able to capture it before the system reboots.

    I've used the OmniOS installer via the serial port (in a virtual
    machine) before.  I think that all I had to do was edit the grub menu
    entry and add the appropriate console settings, e.g.

        -B console=ttyb,ttyb-mode="115200,8,n,1,-"

    (NB: that's for "ttyb", aka COM2.  If your IPMI serial-over-LAN port
    is COM1 you'll want ttya instead.)
