To quote from christoph klein:

"it depends on the nic. if it's tu* (in DS10, and DS10L) nic then you
can
configure
the speed via the srm console (set ewa0_mode=... (Auto-Neg, FastFD,...))

and the os
will also take over this speed.

if the nic's are ee* (in ES40, DS20E) then it's a bit more complicated.
you can add
a parameter in the /etc/rc.config like:

IFCONFIG_1="100.200.100.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 speed 200"

the values for speed are:

               10 10 Mbps Ethernet half-duplex
               20 10 Mbps Ethernet full-duplex
              100 100 Mbps Ethernet half-duplex
              200 100 Mbps Ethernet full-duplex

and you have to add the following line to /etc/inet.local

lan_config -i ee1 -s 100 -x 1

where -s is for the speed (10 mbit or 100 mbit)
and -x is for dupled (0 half, 1 full duplex)"
