As a general rule I would strongly recommend against doing this. However, if you insist then there are a couple of viable approaches:

- load ipxe.pxe rather than ipxe.lkrn: this will reuse the existing DHCP configuration. You will need to open the interface with "ifopen", but it will already have an IP address.

- provide a command line to ipxe.lkrn which uses the "set" command to configure the relevant settings.
