If you're not using (or don't want to use) DHCP then you'll have to
explicitly supply the IP address of the system. Try editing termrc and
change the ipconfig line:
ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether0 <your-ip-address>
See the man page for ipconfig(8) for more details.

Sorry, can't help you here.

Presumably, once you get the IP address configuration sorted out, this
will go away. And if you have a stand-alone system without networking,
you shouldn't be running dns anyway.
