OK, this is what I'm doing now ... svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf ifconfig bge0 plumb ifconfig bge0 192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route -p add default 192.168.0.1 ...but it doesn't survive a reboot and I can't see anyone using a persistent option anywhere.
