Developper system usually requires more memory, I don't know what is the
purpose of that

If the graphics card is supported it should start in GUI mode,  It is
starting in Blue screen  so it means it is not supporting you graphics card.

It works fine even if lan cable is connected, I suggest you to use Soalris
build 55 or above other wise you can check your hardware weather works or
not by checking in HCL (hardware compatible list) check it in sun.com

Other options is to go for  Belenix , it is realy nice. But for development
of various thing especially in Sun Studion IDE it is having some problem.

If you want Recent Build i can send you that if you are not able to download
it from opensolaris.org
