ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>

It originates from NFS root configuration :) So 'technically' it would be
the root server to connect to. The autoconf parameter is something that
can be set by the kernel too, that would mean to use BOOTP/DHCP and maybe
RARP. Skip the dhcp on the end if you want to set something statically.
