CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
+ CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
+ after the configured retry count, the call will fail
+ instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
+ to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
+ is not available.
+
CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
