initramfs is just a way of making files accessible at boot time,
correct?  FAI is what decides what files go into the initramfs used
for the netboot operation, correct?  From what people are saying,
the boot process is choosing poor options for ip-config; how is that
initramfs's fault?

I must be missing something, because describing something as
"initramfs's fault" sounds like  describing something as "ext2's
fault": it only makes sense if you're talking about a file
operation, which we're very definitely not.
