Reach over the drivers side front tire in wheel well.  Reach around trim in upper wheel well to find a cable, running front to back, pull toward you and it should release the front hood.  Previous owner showed me this emergency release in case battery goes dead and I have recently had to use it myself on my 1998 Boxster.

Hi
If you open fusebox in footwell there is a RED section you pull out by fuse removal tool-this can be used as a permenant feed for a battery jump pack-red lead on the Red in fusebox and black on door check strap this will give you power to open front boot to get to battery.

Your best bet is adding voltage through the cigarette lighter. Go down to radio shack and buy a cigarette plug. Wire it up to a small 12 volt battery. This should give enough juice to pop the bonnet.

I used a cigarette lighter (male plugs on both sides). Connect to your car and another car. Wait a while. When the battery is charged a little, the front bonnet will open. You will need to recode your radio (http://www.a2dvoices.com/realitycheck/porsche/).

Some years also have a power post the pulls out by the fuse box.

1998 porsche boxster, battery is dead on car, and

This is a common problem. Your alarm was on when the battery went dead. When the alarm activated, the hood/bonnet opening lever locks to prevent thieves from opening the hood in case the top is down. Some boxsters have a jumper post the pulls out near the fuse box. However, I do not think the 1997-1999s have this post.

Buy a male-to-male cigarette lighter adapter at the auto store. Connect between your car's cigarette lighter socket and the other car's cigarette lighter socket. Do not try to start the ignition or the any other electronics. You should not even need the key in the ignition. You should be able to pop the door locks with the remote and open the bonnet.

UNABLE TO OPEN BOOT DUE TO FLAT BATTERY ON PORSCHE BOXSTER

Sounds like the battery went dead with the security system on. This means you cannot pull bonnet handle.

To release the bonnet, buy a male-2-male cigarette lighter cable at any auto part store. Connect the cable between the two cars. (WARNING: Do not try to start the car with this configuration.) Unlock the door with the key and the bonnet should open. Now you can service or jumper the battery.

Note: Some porsches also have a red pull-out jumper by the fuse box.
