Yup - my fault.

Now with current stuff it is asking for language and keyboard using:

 > label ubuntu-breezy-hands-off
 > # ubuntu instaler
 >         kernel ubuntu/breezy/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
 >         append initrd=sc/bzy/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=14984 root=/dev/rd/0

I forgot to do that for the new iso, and mixing kernel and initrd is really bad ;)
