Fw: static IP config for install kernel?

[Carl Pecinovsky]

I apologize for somehow overlooking the most recent posts.  I think I was
using SuSE-based kernel appends before (ipaddr, nameserver, etc.).  When I
changed to use the parms that Thomas gave, things did work:

ip=<ip>         IP to use for a network installation, use 'dhcp' for DHCP.
netmask=<nm>    Netmask to use for a network installation.
gateway=<gw>    Gateway to use for a network installation.
dns=<dns>       Comma separated list of nameservers to use for a network
                installation.

Thanks.

I'm installing RHEL3 on the iSeries PPC architecture.  Each time I boot the
install kernel, DHCP requests are sent that eventually time out and a panel
is displayed that allows me to input static networking information.  If I
input this manually, then things proceed fine (anaconda finds my kickstart
file out on NFS and uses it).

My question is, what boot kernel options can I pass so that this DHCP stuff
is skipped and static kernel options are used for networking?  I've tried
"dhcp=0" (which works for SuSE) or "static", but no luck.  I still get
prompted with nothing filled in.  Thanks.
