If all you really want is a permanently static IP, I think the following still works:
1: svcadm disable nwam 2: svcadm enable network/physical:default 3: in /etc/hostname.<interfacename> put the name of the machine you want it to be. 4: In /etc/hosts, make sure there is an IP for the hostname above. You may wish to set up your defaultrouter: /etc/defaultrouter and you may wish to set up DNS as a nameservice: /etc/resolv.conf, and put "dns" on the hosts line (after files).
