Actually I think it may be:
'boot net:dhcp - install dhcp'
Which seems even more silly, but I understand it.
The :dhcp seems to tell OBP to use DHCP instead of RARP to get an IP to
do the initial TFTP transfer of the Boot program that knows how to
access the NFS Root. I'm guessing it also tells that Boot program to get
the NFS root Server and Path from DHCP too.
The 'install dhcp' are arguments to the init scripts, that are passed to
the installation programs, and trigger (respectively) a custom
jumpstart, and retrieving the install parameters from DHCP instead of
BootParams.
Or are the docs wrong, and the :dhcp triggers doing all lookups through
dhcp instead of bootparams?
