I suppose what you try to boot does not have any video or keyboard then? If it it had, you just follow the instructions to configure the serial console in the link provided already. If not, try read "man boot" to see if the -D, -h and -P options makes sense. And finally, there is the 'comconsole_port="0x2F8"' option as it looks like the video disappears when the kernel is started and it may be that it sets another port as the first. Not sure about the mini memstick installer but a normal memstick install would just take you to the install screen, DHCP can only be configured from there.
