Steve, Sun's use either the 'le' driver or the 'hme' driver. This is configured by the kernel and may be a loadable module. In order to have your eth0 seen properly you need to do the following (assuming you have the kernel module):
1) cd /lib/modules/<version>/net ( to get too the list of modules. ) 2) insmod hme.o (assuming it's there ) 3) ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 (should bring up the interface) 4) dhcpcd -i eth0 ( ask for an IP addr ).
