I have a linux box that has been running headless as my home server for a year. I've decided it's time to upgrade the OS and do some other things, so I took it out of the closet, disconnected the data HDD and attempted to turn on.

Unfortunately it didn't boot or at least doesn't want to connect to the network. Before I go looking for a display to diagnose a problem I wanted to ask if there is a rescue Linux distribution, that is configured to boot with VNC enabled I can use to access the box?

You can customize system rescue cd and add vnc server autostart. If you just want one vnc session, you just need one display. For static network configuration you can just use something like the following

rescuecd vncserver=1:MyPaSsWd eth0=192.168.124.10/24 gateway=192.168.124.1/24

and you will be able to connect with “vncviewer 192.168.124.10:0“.
