Hi,
If you have already Mapserver running and available, why don't you create static maps in geotiff format (or ecw or something else) and use those as background while doing off-line work? WCS service is just made for that. I am usually making 5000 by 5000 pixel geotiffs but they can be larger if needed.

This small project is to gather data in the field and render maps on the
spot using a laptop running Windows. The field data will be put into an
SQLite database. I would like OSM maps as a background to give context
to the data the user enters.
I have a Debian-based Mapserver serving WMS/WFS from a PostGIS database
to Openlayers on a website, but I'm finding this offline project more of
a challenge to put the pieces in place. ;)
