How do I?

[Ron Smith]

Are you trying to get rid of that annoyingly long pause during boot 
when it is looking for a DHCP lease? If so, simply give it a static IP, 
it will look for link for a few seconds. When it finds no ethernet link 
after a (very) short time (compared to the DHCP request) it will 
continue booting with a simple nag about not finding link on eth0.
