This isn't true if the DHCP server is being run by an effectively 
hostile 3rd party. This isn't a common case, though. I /did/ find the 
failure to fall back to bootparam if the DHCP information isn't useful 
irritating - perhaps if the TFTP server doesn't answer, bootparam should 
be tried instead?
