Mfg is also working on OpenSolaris pre-install on factory units. The assumption was that we would still use sys-unconfig but maybe we need to rethink that since the one time I used it on a test system, it did not behave as expected on bootup. It still came up as a DHCP client since sys-unconfig did not disable the "network/physical:nwam" service.
