Just to clarify: I tried NODHCP before I even found out about the dnsmasq.conf method. I'll double-check tomorrow by removing dnsmasq.conf from /mnt/kd and setting NODHCP, but I'm moderately confident that when I witnessed NODHCP failing to work, it was before I had copied dnsmasq.conf to the keydisk.
Probably misremembering, though...
