I'm using DHCP, and dhcpd.conf looks like this:

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.255.255;
option routers 192.168.40.2;
option domain-name-servers 216.99.225.30, 216.99.225.31;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.30.3;
option domain-name "istreet.com";

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
        range 192.168.30.100 192.168.30.200;
        host carolina1 {
                hardware ethernet 00:E0:29:58:98:86;
                fixed-address 192.168.30.71;
                filename "/tftpboot/vmlinuz";
        }
}

Can I specify nfsroot using DHCP?

Should I switch to bootp instead?

thx - Eric
