:You don't need those; you can get them out of /etc/fstab. In particular,
:the whole idea of passing the NFS swap details in at this stage is just
:*totally* bogus.
You can specify swap paritions with dhcpd just fine, just use
the the numerical IP:
option root-path "999.999.99.99:/";
option option-128 "999.999.99.99:/images/swap";
