<pre wrap="">If you do not have a (external) network you must set the database and

It would find that address on the loopback interface and would continue
startup. I think you always need at least the loopback network interface.

<pre wrap="">what if the database sits on a different machine then the backend?
Then 2 and 1 have to be reversed.

I don't think so. The program will still wait until it can contact
the database first. If they were on a different machine, then the IP
addresses will need to be available before database access. This
just means that the second step of waiting for ip address
availability will succeed immediately, no waiting required. We do
need the database first, because the ip address we are looking for
is stored there.<br>
