[rescue] How to make Solaris "standalone / not networked"

[Jonathan Katz]

You can do a few things. If you run “sys-unconfig” you can get back to the
dialogs of the installer and tell it “no” for networking. You can also
rename the /etc/rc2.d/S99sendmail to NO.S99sendmail to disable it from
starting at all. Also, you can delete /etc/defaultrouter so there is no
default route set at boot and only the ISDN route will be set.
