put the host name/ipaddress in /etc/hosts

put the host in /etc/host.hme0 (hme0 only exists new SUNs, le0 for older
suns, or maybe something different is its not an ethernet).

reboot. you may also have to adjust the broadcast,netmask etc if its
non-standard).

Make an /etc/hostname.hme0, and add the name of the host into the file.
vi /etc/darkstar1.hme0   i (insert) darkstar    :wq!

Edit your /etc/hosts and add your enrty in there.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx    darkstar

ifconfig up your interface.

You should.  The only case where sysid won't ask your for your IP
address and such is if you did a netinstall of this machine on the
current subnet, and still have it set up as a netinstall server[1].

Unless, of course, you ran into my sys-unconfig bug.  In this case,
you get a core out of sysidnet as the system is coming back up, and it
ends up identified as `unknown'.  There is a patch for this problem
(109221-01 for SPARC, 109222-01 for Intel).  Said patch is included in
Update 1.

  Do an ifconfig [ifname, e.g. hme0] plumb

  Then you can do an ifconfig address netmask, etc. etc.

Of course if you want the machine to configure the interface
automatically at boot and start network services properly,
it is safest to do a sys-unconfig and start over.  

The man page for sys-unconfig does have a complete list
of all the files it uses, which can be changed manually
if you know the format and what each is used for.
