You add the IP into the /etc/hostname.xxxx where xxxx is the interface. Check the output of dmesg to find your interface (if it was recognized). You can put either the IP or host name in /etc/hostname.xxxx - if you put the host name, then you must have that host name in your /etc/hosts file with the assigned IP.
Then a reboot and it should be working.

See the info in the man page for ifconfig for manual set up (will not survive a reboot). Also check out the /etc/defaultrouter file.

Make sure your card is supported by checking the SUN HCL
and check out the FAQ on Solaris X86 (I put the link to their faq on setting up the interface)
