GUI always starts automatically in Solaris, unless disabled by root. In your case,
the graphics card seems to be having problems. Execute kdmconfig as root and
follow the instructions. You may also have to configure X manually, depending
on your card.

Did you do a full install of Solaris? For more help, join #solaris on freenode.

IRC cannot be opened in the browser like a url. It's something like chatting on messengers.
Some info on irc can be obtained here Digit Unofficial Chat-Room [IRC] and http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/faq.html

Well most of them said its a problem with the graphics card. I suspected this too coz just as solaris tries to load the GUI shell, the screen flickered 4 times (with a gap of 2-3 secs). I assume it was that solaris was tried to load the GUI shell but was unable to do so.

Another reasona may be that some installation files were missing. Thats because just before the disc-1 was going to end some errors showed up (missing files). May be these files were responible for proper working of the GUI shell and hence the problem.

This time I will configure the installing options manually and will post the results here
