And the last one possible solution:

And the idea is simple - if there is no server set, we opt to use next server option for nfs/tftp server; now the root_path syntax as such is not set, therefore we can just state that if the root_path is IP:/path then its NFS, if the root_path is /path, then it is TFTP.
Don't use any of 66 or 150 option, but when root-path includes ip address - go thru NFS, if ip address not exists in root-path - go thru TFTP from server which ip address is in next-server. But there is one limitation - only one tftp server in network to provide loader and everything else. Does enybody use more than only one?
