I'm afraid that would break my current setup. Just because grub is
supported by a given DHCP server doesn't mean that other clients are
not also supported. In our setup, grub boots a Linux kernel which is
configured to use DHCP to auto-configure its IP address and mount its
NFS root .... and the NFS root is specified with rp= .
