Hi..Prem
To put the machine in network u first put the network card then boot the machine......during booting it ask tht it is booting frm the first known bootable device that is the system hard disk and if u want to interrupt press any key to boot frm any other media......
Press any key to interupt the booting frm system harddisk it will once again scan for hardware config..and detect the new network card....and ask for the bootpath....now boot it frm the default system disk as before.............and during booting look for the network interface it is configuring like elxl0 or hme0 etc etc...
note that interface.....and after booting make one file /etc/hostname.<interface name> and put the ip address u want to give in tht file..and save it..
now u configure the network address.
ifconfig -a <interfacename> <ip> <mask><broadcast>
put the default GW in file /etc/defaultrouter
Try n learn
regards
praful

bootparamd
BOOTPARAMD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BOOTPARAMD(8)
NAME
bootparamd -- boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS
bootparamd [-ds] [-r router] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
The bootparamd utility is a server process that provides information to diskless(8) clients necessary for booting. It consults the
/etc/bootparams file.
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the /etc/bootparams file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by
the booting client will be the name that appears in /etc/bootparams and not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short
enough so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames will not fail during boot.
OPTIONS
-d Display the debugging information.
-s Log the debugging information with syslog(3).
-r router The default router (a machine or an IP-address). This defaults to the machine running the server.
-f file The file to use as boot parameter file instead of /etc/bootparams.
FILES
/etc/bootparams default boot parameter file
EXAMPLES
When netbooting diskless SunOS/Xkernel SPARCstations the booted SunOS kernel also broadcasts to the all-0 address. The SunOS kernel hangs
until it receives a reply. To accommodate this behaviour add an alias address that responds to an all-0 broadcast. So, add something like
'ifconfig xl0 192.168.200.254 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 192.168.200.0 alias' on the relevant network interface on your bootparamd
server. The alias address must of course be free for use.

BUGS
You may find the syslog(3) loggings to be verbose.
