The client machine gets the basic information via DHCP/BOOTP. The machine which is to act as a '/' file server is specified in one of the options.
Looking at http://linux.die.net/man/5/dhclient.conf the dhclient should be logging information about the lease in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient (or something). If the server name is not listed, you might be able to request it with 'request tftp-server' in '/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf'.
