I don't have experience passing them via DHCP (instead I've passed in the correct root via tftpboot), but the net result should be the same.
Basically whatever you have in your fstab gets embedded into the initrd, but can be overridden via tftpboot (and presumably DHCP). This is important as it allows you to share an initrd across clients, even if the clients mount their root filesystem from different servers.
