If you have a correct sysidcfg, you will never need to go thru the
system identification prompt at zlogin -C.  Please post your sysidcfg.
 Here's a barebone one that works for me:

name_service=NONE
root_password=xyzmno
system_locale=C
timeserver=localhost
timezone=GMT
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
nfs4_domain=dynamic
network_interface=primary {
hostname=${ZONENAME}
protocol_ipv6=no}

YMMV.  If you have an exclusive-ip zone you will have to touch
/etc/hostname.NIC in the zone as well.
