Do you have two lines in your /etc/hostname.nfo0 file?  That doesn't
look right.  I suggest using a single line that specifies either this:

        truth/24

or this:

        10.0.0.17/24

That looks ok, though I'd put "loghost" on the same line with
localhost (i.e., using the IPv4 loopback address).

Note that you can set a static address in nwam by editing the
/etc/nwam/llp file, like this:

        nfo0    static 10.0.0.17

Any time a service fails, you should use "svcs -x" to find out what it
says about the failure.  What did it say?  What did the log file that
it references say?

Unfortunately, physical:default isn't currently restartable.  This is
the subject of several bugs -- 6589485 and 6181431 (the latter is the
root of the problem) show up in a quick search.
