Ok. I suddenly realized I'm talking complete bullshit. Actually, netboot is an argument against running 'ip link down' from /etc/preinit, as it causes just the same as removing the wrong IP address. The 'ip link set up dev eth0' is there for all cases where netboot doesn't apply, as initially the interface is still down at this point. But NOT with netboot, as the kernel did set it up already. So what's the deal? "Never remove link while booting" (And hoping, any address flushes don't appear and udhcpc invocation goes well)? In general I vote for not configuring any interfaces in netboot setups at all, as it doesn't really make sense. This way /etc/preinit could stay as it is, and fwifupdown do with the link what it wants to. Better ideas?
