It is easy to avoid BOOTP/RARP, as explained in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/nfsroot.txt :

#ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>
#  This parameter tells the kernel how to configure IP addresses of
devices
...

You can also configure it on a per-disk basis by using loadlin on a
msdos disk and an append parameter in the .bat script that launch
loadlin (but that's not a technically beautiful solution).
