xen discuss - Jun 2008 - Install SNV87 on the box with several NICs (all GLDv3)

Through my experience after install all three NICs have been detected and 
"dladm show-link"
reported which interface was up ( obviously with cable plugged in).
However, "ifconfig -a"  showed IP-address 0.0.0.0 for each one of
Ethernet interfaces .
Manual intervention was required to obtain IP via dhcp on given interface.
When there is only one NIC it doesn''t happen.  
Old installer (SNV89,90)  does detect all three interfaces and prompts to choose
interface to
configure at the beginning of installation procedure.

This is a Nevada question rather than Solaris on Xen. You could try  
opensolaris-discuss, install-discuss or networking-discuss.

I have already done so.
