I believe it is as Alexander said: "illumos-gate currently lacks support 
of UEFI vga console (so you are limited to serial console and X11".

So, if you want to boot in UEFI mode, enable "Enable ssh" mode which 
skips language/keyboard dialog in VGA console and gets you straight to 
X11: https://openqa.oi.mnowak.cz/tests/3359#step/bootloader_mate/3. Or 
change the serial console and interact with the dialog from there. But 
you are probably more lucky with BIOS/Legacy mode.
