No idea.
Only had problems with the keyboard thing.
Check the /etc/.sysIDtool.state and/etc/.sysidconfig.apps
I havent had the time to read up on the exact meaning and functions of these files yet but it seems they are responsible for the dialog boxes (maybe someone here have more knowledge about these files?).
How do you deploy the flar archive? Jumpstart or DVD ? is it X86 or Sparc?
If you are using jumpstart with for example dhcp (boot net:dhcp - install) you may end up with most of the network config from the dhcp server and no questions are asked (hostnames and IP)... So are you sure it finds the correct sysidcfg file?.
Im suspecting my problem was related to doing an upgrade from an older solaris release and then flaring it. Im not having these problems when installaing the 07/08 from jumpstart (without flar)
