I've been installing 16 RHEL 5.3 servers on a DR site, owned by our sister company. There is no DHCP server on the subnet which has stopped us using HP Rapid Deployment Pack to roll out the servers, but it was still possible to use Kickstart, by specifying the IP information as a parameter when booting from the RHEL CD (disk 1). The syntax goes like this:
boot: linux ks=http://server/kickstart.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=xx.xx.xx.xx netmask=xx.xx.xx.xx gateway=xx.xx.xx.xx dns=xx.xx.xx.xx
DNS servers can be comma separated if you want to specify more than one.
