The dns ippadress and reverse zone should have nothing to do with the local naming of your machine, during boot the machine name is take from local files if configured correctly.

dhcp is trying to name your machine, but this is not well supported by solaris, that is why you get unknown. The problem is that you are trying to give a machine a static ip address on a dhcp network as rhfrommn has stated.

If you want to make it static you have to remove dhcp.hme0. If you want the hostname to be fixed and want to keep using the dhcp configuration, you could do a search of this forum and find the numerous other threads about giving a dhcp machine a hostname.
