Configuring our current dhcp client, alas, isn't obvious.  You have to look in 
the "examples" directory, not the docs directory.  (BusyBox.html provides 
some clues, but not enough.  Doesn't say what should be _in_ the script.)

From his talk about the kernel I'm guessing he's trying to do an NFS root 
mount which has nothing to do with busybox if he's using root=, and if he's 
trying to get initramfs to do it he's asking the wrong questions...
