If I understood correctly, the default text interface (also called the newt frontend) of the installer is unusable without the XVR-500 driver on the SunBlade 2500 because of color issues. As a workaround, you can always use the "text" frontend which does not uses colors. In order to do so, you need specify "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text" at the installer boot prompt. The debian-installer itself uses standard Debian kernel images, so if you need support for the XVR-500, please fill a bug against the relevant linux-2.6 packages.
