Perhaps you should try kdmconfig to configure your display.

This error occurs when i installing solaris in the beginning after i selected solaris "interactive installation". There are no place for me to configure my display, are there any ? If yes how ?

It means the O/S doesn't find a driver for your console device:

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xr...fig_dacf.c#806

Your graphic adapter may be a unknown variant of SIS6326.

Again, try installing in text mode.

That is OpenSolaris source code.

One more time, try installing in text only mode, and fix the graphic issue later.
