/etc/device_aliases was missing! So even drvconfig can't fix the missing
interface. How this can happen with a power failure? This server had no
history of device changes, so I just replaced /etc/device_aliases from the
OE CD...took me about 5 hours of accumulated works to find this out.

I should have mentioned that I did 'ifconfig hme0 plumb' in my first e-mail.
This gave me 'hme0: No such interface or address'.
'modinfo | grep hme' did not give me anything, and I have pkgrm and
'pkgadd -d ./ SUNWhmd' and 'pkgadd -d ./ SUNWhmdu'.
'prtconf | grep network' gave it ALL AWAY with its message 'network (driver
not attached)', when it SHOULD have been 'network (instance #0)'...
