Will/could that support configuration via DHCP?
Yes; initially it will do only bootp, but DHCP is assumed to be coming.
IMHpersonalO, bootp is suffient.
From RFC 2131: [...snip...]
I do not believe the extra bits DHCP can offer a client will be used in the loader. Thus BOOTP is suffient. Applicable RFCs are in /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp/work/dhcp-2.0/doc/
BOOTP is not necessarily sufficient. BOOTP does not allow truly dynamic configuration, or at least not with the ISC dhcpd. It at least requires a host and hardware declaration for each BOOTP client, even if you allow dynamic IP addresses to be assigned, while DHCP does not. In my case, I would need to use DHCP because of this limitation.
