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'll be able to change the selections you've
made before continuing.

add

Code:
nfs4_domain=dynamic

to your sysidcfg

or something else missing from the sysidcfg file.
The nfs4_domain line is essential for Solaris 10 builds.

Another one (for all Solaris versions) is:
Code:
TERM=sun

if your machine does not have a graphics head, mouse and keyboard or the console (input-device and output-device eeprom(1m) settings) are pointing somewhere other than keyboard and screen.

NFSv4 line was already there in /etc/.sysIDtool.state but not in sysidcfg file i added it in sysidcfg and changed the term to SUN which seems do the trick but not sure which one did .. any wayz thanx to both of you for the info Smilie
