I configure dhcpd3 (sarge, 3.0+3.0.1rc9-5) with these parameters and it 
works fine :

option option-170 code 170 = string;
option option-171 code 171 = string;
option option-172 code 172 = string;
option option-173 code 173 = string;
option option-174 code 174 = string;

#FAI Setup
filename "/boot/fai/pxelinux.0";
option dhcp-max-message-size 2048;
use-host-decl-names on;
option root-path "/var/data/fairoot";
option option-170 "shining:/usr/local/share/fai";  # FAI_LOCATION
option option-171 "sysinfo";                 # FAI_ACTION
option option-172 "verbose createvt sshd";         # FAI_FLAGS
server-name "server";

But i MUST configure LAST.var too (mktable() section).
