The missing step is you haven't populated DL_DIR (defaults to downloads/ under 
the build directory) with files that would normally be downloaded by the 
system, so it is attempting to download them and stopping because 
BB_NO_NETWORK is set, hence:

| ERROR: Function failed: Network access disabled through BB_NO_NETWORK 

The easiest thing to do is to go to a machine that does have full internet 
access, untar poky, source oe-init-build-env and then run:

 bitbake -c fetchall <imagename>

Then copy the contents of DL_DIR to the machine without network access and you 
should be ready to go. 

Cheers,
Paul
