     - boot the kernel: agreed.
     - DHCP: use static config if your DHCP server is slow. This can be 
done at home, and often also at work.
     - NTP: if you have a working RTC onboard, you've got hours before a 
time drift is detectable.  I don't know of any service explicitely 
depending on NTP.
