[OpenIndiana-discuss] can't get into system after hostname change

Greetings all,
I just changed the hostname on an OpenIndiana machine by changing
/etc/hostname.(ifname), /etc/nodename, and rebooting. Networking is
down, and worse, I can't login using known-good credentials.
On the console was an error about SMF not starting, and on each login
attempt, this appears:
"Solaris_audit getadrinfo(hobbes) failed[node name or service name not
known]: Error 0
Solaris_audit adt_get_local_address failed, no Audit IP address
available, faking loopback and error: Network is down
Login incorrect"
The system has a static IP and is not using directory services.
Obviously, this is a big problem...and I'm a bit under the gun to fix
it. Suggestions would be most welcome; I have console access, and
possibly virtual media access, at the moment.
Much appreciated,
Brett
