Hi,
If its only IP address, use RARP mechanism to get the IP address (this
requires a rarp server to be in place in the same network). RARP server can
be enabled in the Linux server. If RARP fails(after some timeout), then go
ahead to use Bootp to get the IP address.

        With all respect, RARP is a disaster operationally.  DHCP would be
a much better choice from the viewpoint of most (not all) network
operations folks in the world.
