 Thanks to all that replied, you really saved my skin!!

The solution to change the Hostid on a sparc station is as
follows:

1. Obtain a copy of the package called "change-sun-hostid-1.7.3"
    ftp.netcom.com:/pub/he/henderso

2. Run the program called 'hid2'
    #hid2 <newhostid>

   OR

3. Compile the code 'nvram-sol2.c'
    This is the dangerous method that actually alters the
    burn on the prom. Use with CAUTION.

 I tested both methods, and had no problems on the sun4m platform
running Solaris 2.5.1.. Please read the full instructions before
executing these programs!!!

 Thanks Again!!!
