Original question was regarding automating Jumpstart.
With 2.6 we got another variable to pass to client - locale.

in the profile along with your clusters and packages...
I did not check this.

The one that worked for me was the pointer to man page for sysidcfg(4) from
Jim Harmon jim@telecnnct.com

I eneded up creating common sysidcfg file in the jumpstart configuration directory
and pointing to that file from the following bootparam entry:
sysid_config=jumpsrv:/export/install/jumpstart

jumpsrv# cat /export/install/jumpstart/sysidcfg
system_locale=en_US

Thnx guys.
