[OpenIndiana-discuss] Add Gnome to server install
Hi Rainer, have you looked at http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Using+NWAM+to+configure+network+interfaces ? That should describe reasonably well how to set a static address. I'm using the described procedure regularly on oi_151a7 and oi_151a8 installations...

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Add Gnome to server install
Yep. Didn't work for me, as I need the system to boot right into a networking state. Like all of the NWAM documentation I found, I had to log in before the networking came up.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Add Gnome to server install
Hi, On 22.11.2013 08:02, Rainer Heilke wrote: Greetings. After spending most of the day trying to get the OI 151a8 (LiveCD Desktop) install to boot up with fixed IP addresses, I finally gave up. The wiki is very outdated, and self-contradictory. So I googled, and still nothing. And network-admin doesn't run without NWAM enabled. (This system is a small home running DNS, Mediatomb, and storage shares.and with NWAM, I have to log in to fire up the network interfaces.) But it also acts occasionally as one of my desktops. So, since a fresh install of 151a8 Desktop cannot be made into a server, I installed the server version. if you are using static IP then what is problem to disable nwam, use network:physical and configure IP without automagic? The server version, however, is text only (of course). No Gnome. So, how can I add it? Note that DNS seems a bit borked. I can 'ping 91.194.74.133 I can 'dig pkg.openindiana.org' but I cannot 'ping pkg.openindiana.org' getting an unknown host error. (??) So 'pkg refresh --full' always fails. I suspect this will be the last time I install fresh, rather than doing an upgrade. :-( Your nsswitch config is missing dns for hosts and ipnods.
