Hi,
That's actually not sufficient -- we need the entire DHCPACK to be passed
(somehow) to the loading kernel. I've discussed this a bit with phcoder, and
he suggested adding another member to the multiboot structure off of which we
can hang the DHCPACK packet. The environment variables may also have value,
for other OSes that don't use multiboot.

Quoting Aleš Kapica, who wrote the following on Thu, 15 Oct 2009:
Could I ask you for apply patch from attachment on pxecmd.c in grub2, please?
It's adding an option -s to the command pxe, which do make possible set IP
addresses of the server and the client machine, got from PXE, among grub2
enviroment variables.
DHCP gives IP according to MAC address, and we use it to identify the client
station by IP address.
Thanks a lot, with regards Aleš Kapica
Having the Client IP avaible inside grub.cfg might be useful for some.
Then you could have one grub.cfg for all your machines and if one or a
small number of it needs some special stuff, you could just check for
the IP inside the grub.cfg. Then you don't need to use a seperate one
for them.
