Use next_server from dhcp in tftp root=live:tftp:///root.squashfs urls #929

It would be nice if dracut could use the address from dhcp next_server in tftp-urls without a host-part, ex root=live:tftp urls.

@glance- Can you clarify what problem will this solve and or use case it will address? In other words why would you want to do this?

It would allow me to let the dhcp-server choose which tftp-server the squashfs should be loaded from, the same way as a pxe rom uses next_server from the dhcp-server to load the bootloader and the kernel. Now I need to encode the tftp-server in the kernel command line.
