Booting Without a DHCP Server

If the network you are booting the Network Security Toolkit on does not have a DHCP server, the default boot options won't work. You will see errors in this situation as the Network Security Toolkit won't be able to retrieve a IP address from a DHCP server.

In this situation, you should specify base, mbase, serial, utils, pcmcia, or usb at boot time. For example:

boot: mbase

It would be very difficult to show screen captures of the console boot screens other than to take digital pictures. Thus, we will present the boot screens from a serial boot session below in lieu of console screen captures.
