who suggested to upgrade ALOM to version 1.6.x and to make sure that
/etc/nodename has the correct entry in it.

Unfortunately after upgrading to ALOM 1.6.3, OBP 4.16.4 and installing Solaris 10
6/06 I still can not change the displayed name in the ALOM login, ie.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
sc> logout

                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Please login: 
Serial line login timeout, returns to console stream.

Enter #. to return to ALOM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I will continue to fight with this and if successful I will post the
fix.
