Mostly by passing in static IP via the scripts. It would have to reach the
server using the dynamic script, but the resultant /proc/cmdline would have
all the info needed to continue on as static once linux actually starts.
So the firmware would need *a* functional network identity, the proxydhcp
How would that work for diskless nodes that use xCAT's DHCP for
booting? Would the xNBA image have some sort of special smarts where
it just assigns the IP for the node when it sees that node is
supposed to have a static address instead of relying on DHCP to do
it?
