Error: SIOCSLIFFLAGS Cannot assign requested address

Hello all, I have a Sunfire V120, standard configuration so it has two
enet interfaces, eri0 and eri1. At first it was working fine, however
now when the system boots I get the message:

SIOCSLIFFLAGS Cannot assign requested address

Eri0 is configured with an IP address, eri1 is not configured. I read on
the archives of this list to do the following in the eeprom:

setenv local-mac-address? true

Which I did, the default is set to false. This system is running Solaris
8 and because the system is running some DBs it won't boot, I am
assuming because of this error. I am able to get into single user mode
to make any changes I need.

Any thoughts? Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
