That looks good.

Particularly, it's the "hosts" and "ipnodes" entries that are of
interest there.

Try modifying that to:
127.0.0.1 opensolaris.local localhost loghost opensolaris
i.e., add "opensolaris" at the end, since that's apparently the host
name for your system.

That's quite odd. I'd expect that if static addresses work, and if
the DHCP server is functional, then DHCP would work as well. There's
some other piece of the puzzle that's missing here.
The last snoop trace I saw showed no response at all from the DHCP
server. If it's possible, it'd be good to get error statistics from
that server.
