That's because the network/physical:nwam service doesn't do "dladm
up-vnic" like network/physical:default does.  It's a bug in NWAM that
will be fixed in "NWAM Phase 1".  Note that your VNICs are still in the
persistent configuration, the problem is simply that the configuration
isn't activated during boot when using NWAM.

You can either turn off NWAM and use network/physical:default to
configure the network, or you can manually bring up your VNICs using
"dladm up-vnic".
