Problem in configuring jumpstart installation

I am trying to configuring jumpstart configuration. Please find below sysidcfg configuration file output

Code:
bash-3.2# cat sysidcfg
terminal=vt100
network_interface=nxge0 { primary hostname=sun1 ip_address=192.168.11.10 \
protocol_ipv6=no netmask=255.255.255.0 default_route=192.168.11.7}
timezone=Asia/Calcutta
nfs4_domain=dynamic
security_policy=NONE
keyboard=US-English
system_locale=en_US
timeserver=localhost
root_password='IiXxFy7eP8BdI'
name_service=NONE
security_policy=NONE
auto_reg=disable


Now when I booting from the client, it start asking question from "iSCSI Installation". I want to select "Install on non-iSCSI target". So please let me know what need to be added in sysidcfg file.

Please find below output.

- The Solaris Installation Program ---------------------------------------------
  The Solaris installation program is divided into a series of short sections
  where you'll be prompted to provide information for the installation. At the
  end of each section, you can change the selections you've made before
  continuing.
  About navigation...
        - The mouse cannot be used
        - If your keyboard does not have function keys, or they do not
          respond, press ESC; the legend at the bottom of the screen
          will change to show the ESC keys to use for navigation.
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     F2_Continue    F5_Exit    F6_Help
- Solaris Interactive Installation ---------------------------------------------
  On the following screens, you can accept the defaults or you can customize
  how Solaris software will be installed by:
        - Selecting the type of Solaris software to install
        - Selecting disks to hold software you've selected
        - Selecting unbundled products to be installed with Solaris
        - Specifying how file systems are laid out on the disks
  After completing these tasks, a summary of your selections (called a
  profile) will be displayed.
  There are two ways to install your Solaris software:
   - "Standard" installs your system from a standard Solaris Distribution.
      Selecting "Standard" allows you to choose between initial install
      and upgrade, if your system is upgradable.
   - "Flash" installs your system from one or more Flash Archives.

- iSCSI Installation -----------------------------------------------------------
  Do you want to install Oracle Solaris 10 on an iSCSI target?
  NOTE: You must have created the iSCSI target before beginning the OS
  installation and the target system should be running Oracle Solaris 11 or
  Solaris 10 U5 or greater.
  If you choose to install the OS on a non-iSCSI target, you will be taken
  directly to the Oracle Solaris 10 installation screens.
 
            [X] Install on non-iSCSI target
            [ ] Install on iSCSI target

     F2_Continue    F3_Go Back    F5_Exit
- Eject a CD/DVD Automatically? ------------------------------------------------
  During the installation of Solaris software, you may be using one or more
  CDs/DVDs. You can choose to have the system eject each CD/DVD automatically
  after it is installed or you can choose to manually eject each CD/DVD.

            [X] Automatically eject CD/DVD
            [ ] Manually eject CD/DVD
 
 
 
 
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     F2_Continue    F3_Go Back    F5_Exit
- Reboot After Installation? ---------------------------------------------------
  After Solaris software is installed, the system must be rebooted. You can
  choose to have the system automatically reboot, or you can choose to
  manually reboot the system if you want to run scripts or do other
  customizations before the reboot.  You can manually reboot a system by using
  the reboot(1M) command.

            [X] Auto Reboot
            [ ] Manual Reboot
 
 
 
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     F2_Continue    F3_Go Back    F5_Exit
- Choose Media -----------------------------------------------------------------
  Please specify the media from which you will install the Solaris Operating
  System.
  Media:

      [ ]  CD/DVD
      [X]  Network File System
 
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     F2_Continue    F3_Go Back    F5_Exit
- Specify Network File System Path ---------------------------------------------
  Please specify the path to the network file system from which you will
  install the Solaris Operating System.  Example:
     NFS Location: server:/path_to_Solaris_image
  ============================================================================
            NFS Location: 10.240.21.104:/export/install/
 
 
 
 
 
   Please wait ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     F2_Continue    F3_Go Back
- Solaris Interactive Installation ---------------------------------------------
  This system is upgradable, so there are two ways to install the Solaris
  software.
  The Upgrade option updates the Solaris software to the new release, saving
  as many modifications to the previous version of Solaris software as
  possible.  Back up the system before using the Upgrade option.
  The Initial option overwrites the system disks with the new version of
  Solaris software.  This option allows you to preserve any existing file
  systems.  Back up any modifications made to the previous version of Solaris
  software before starting the Initial option.
  After you select an option and complete the tasks that follow, a summary of
  your actions will be displayed.
 
 
   Please wait ...
