If you want we an change it to rootserver. If I am not wrong,
NetBSD uses "swap", OpenBSD uses "nextserver" and linux uses
"rootserver". As rootpath is an accepted attribute name (everyone
uses that name), maybe the best option is rootserver.

all looks good. except that "swap" is kind of crazy name to mean

[9fans] [PATCH 2/3] Send vendor ndb attribute if available

[k0ga]

At this moment plan9 is using vendorinfo to communicate
some specific plan9 parameters, but there are some boards
that use this attribute to set specific values. This
patch allows netbooting of these boards using ndb attributes
instead of hard coded solutions in dhcpd(1). Vendor attribute
is used for that purpose because it is also used for the
same purpose in bootp.
