You could work around this problem e.g. by disabling that other one temporarily, or specifying a "require root-path" in the startup script in the initrd (wow, that gets somehow involved) - I'd be able to modify a initrd if that's too heavy for you. If you are sure there is no other dhcp server (which would not necessarily be detected by etherboot as it requires a "filename" to be present), well- no idea yet.
