The dhcp server can also serve an additional root-path, which will set the root device for dracut. With this mechanism, you have static configuration on your client machine and a centralized boot configuration on your TFTP/dhcp server. If you can't pass a kernel command line, then you can inject /etc/cmdline, with a method described in the section "Injecting custom files".
