Yep, that should also work, but maybe this data gets overwritten by
the DHCP information.

next-server in dhcpd.conf sets this variable (really, I just tries it
in my environment). But AFAIK this is also the address of the TFTP
server, from which your install clients tries to download the
pxelinux.0 file, so this is not really what you want.

Mmm, this may be a bug in ipconfig. Ask the klibc-utils
maintainer or maybe the live-initramfs people if they have a
workaround or patch for this.
