I am not sure.  Linux makes these values visible as a flat text file
(/proc/cmdline), which is very handy.  I have no idea how to access
these settings from under DOS+memdisk, or even whether it is possible.

Linux will also let us obtain custom DHCP options for this stuff,
which we will support eventually.

On the other hand, the DOS boot uses a simple floppy image which is
easy to edit.  These settings are all at the top of autoexec.bat.

Ideally, you should not have to know anything about Linux to use the
boot disk.  It ultimately runs install.pl from the network just like
the DOS disk does.  Pretty much everything else is just generic "glue"
to make that possible.
