To set the ip address: edit the hostname in /etc/hostname.le0. Then make sure the
host is listed in /etc/hosts. There are some other places but this is the 
main one. As for the default gateway, you need to edit a file called
/etc/defaultrouter. Add the gateway there.

If you are using DNS then you will have to add the /etc/resolv.conf file
and edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

The only problem with having magical scripts that set up networking is that 
people don't know what the plumbing is that makes it possible. Unfortunate.

These and other answers are available in the Sun FAQ, btw.
Hope this helps.
