I had that same problem at $ork.  There is, however, a neat little tool
you can run that dumps a new hostid into /dev/kmem, and it even works on
Solaris 10.  I retired a couple of SPARCstation 2 (!!) systems in 2006 and
replaced them with V210s.

I've forgotten the specifics, but I could probably look them up, if you
want.
