First you need to know the name of your network interface. On Sparc systems 
it is usually le0 for 10Mb interfaces, and hme0 for 100Mb interfaces. The 
following assumes it is le0. (You can use netstat -i to list all your 
network interfaces.

Do the following as root.

  umask 022
  rm -f /etc/hostname.le0
  touch /etc/hostname.le0
  touch /etc/dhcp.le0
  /usr/ucb/shutdown -r now

To undo this, just remove /etc/dhcp.le0, and put a hostname (whose IP 
address is given in /etc/hosts) in /etc/hostname.le0.
