ifconfig not holding after reboot

Hello All,

I'm using IP aliasing and am obviously missing something simple. I'm
working on setting my Netra which runs Solaris 8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u
sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2 to configure all interfaces on reboot. But after
a reboot, here is what I get:

# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 10.1.1.29 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255
        ether 0:3:ba:10:46:43
eri0:1: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 10.1.1.39 netmask ff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
eri0:2: flags=1000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 10.1.1.49 netmask ff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255

Note that eri0 is configured with the correct netmask and broadcast and
is brought up. The remaining interfaces are not.

In /etc/netmasks, I have:

10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0

and I have an /etc/hostname.er0:* file for each interface which contains
only a hostname for each.

What am I missing please? I found another message in the archives on
this subject, but was unable to find my problem from the post. Perhaps
I have just had too much time away from Sun while my company has been
pushing Linux. ;-) I know I *could* make an rc script do the ifconfig
command, but that is ugly IMO. I'm hoping to understand where I've gone
wrong in my configuration and why /etc/init.d/network isn't bringing up
my other interfaces as I'd expect.

All help is appreciated.

-Ian
