Make sure that the system has an entry for itself in /etc/hosts. This will allow the system to boot up even if DNS is unavailable.

Now this is something to add to my Linux support/admin notes.

I am building a new server. It will be a temporary firewall of sorts.
I am well into the config, made a lot of changes; almost ready to set it up in the target networks, but now....
The system hangs trying to start sendmail. I was thinking hard about disabling sendmail, but thought I needed it for internal functions, so did not. yet.
So is there someway to get the system working so I can change something like disable sendmail?
The system has no cdrom, diskette, etc. In fact the kybd/monitor require a special temp setup. Perhaps I can edit the kernel line in grub to disable something?
If necessary, I can pull the drive and put it in a system that does support cdrom. That is the way I did the initial harddrive install.
