No, not at all - R'ing TFM first is always an admirable trait.

If you're starting from an OS load, it'll ask you. If not, the
cleanest way is to do a sys-unconfig and let it ask you when it
reboots. It'll ask IP and routing info, as well as location and
maybe languages.

These are probably going to be available in the CDE window manager's
controls for you.

man catman for details ;)

So Solaris then - I'd probably go with the comp.sys.sun FAQ, at:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/comp-sys-sun-faq/ - It has links to others
as well. Casper ***'s FAQ is another good one, linked from this one.
