There are 2 ways I can see a problem here. 1) The firewall could sound out a DHCPNAK, which will cause the thin client to stop. 2) The firewall could send out a DHCPOFFER with an IP address, which the client will happily accept, and it still won't have a root-path, so you are still hosed. You could muck around with vendor-strings in the dhcp server, but chances are, if you can't specify a root-path, you probably can't do much else with it either.
