Agreed, it sounds like a bug in OpenIndiana.

That's odd. A service becomes temporarily disabled usually when a 
service it depends on cannot start due to failed depedencies or fails to 
start. On the SPARC platform you can boot with "boot -v" to get a 
verbose startup. Adding "-v" to the $kernel line in GRUB manually at 
startup will display a verbose startup on the X86 platform. Be aware, it 
will get really verbose.

Are you using a static IP or DHCP?
