You have to boot your machine using -r option.
OK> boot -r
Use 'ifconfig -a' to show all network interfaces. Look at ifconfig man page to understand how to set up the network interface.
#man ifconfig
If you don't use specific video controler driver, try to configure the VGA adapter using standard SUN Solaris driver:
#/usr/sbin/m64config –dev /dev/fbs/m640 –res [????x???] –depth [??]
To print possible and current values type:
#/usr/sbin/m64config –dev /dev/fbs/m640 –res \?
My experience is about Sun SPARC and I am not sure if it will works on x86 platform.
Good luck ;)

hi there ..
well i was getting the same prblem as you are getting .
try to get the driver for Realtek8139 as i have done the same and now its working one more do check ls -al |more in the /etc direc. and check if there is a file called rtls and rtls0. after running the driver install file.(exe one ).
if the file is there do this :-
ls -s ..devices/pci0,0/pci****/rtls0 rtls
(* means the number appearing in that file)
try this and let me know.
for your VGA well i have SIS trio4v.
i hope your SIS card is working.
goodluck.
