Thanks for the quick response, Henning.
Sadly, we can't configure the existing DHCP server (the Department owns it
and doesn't let students tamper with it).
we have the same scenario

Just confirming - do you think we can pass the PXE boot information through
USB/CD as well?
yes, your USB/CD can still get an IP of the DHCP server, but you
can "hardcode" you NFS-Server to your cd.
simply add this this to your kernel boot prompt (in grub)
ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/srv/fai/nfsroot-2.6.39 boot=live
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install
So you are not longer dependent on any PXE/TFTP setting on the DHCP
server
