If it's just for a few seconds, that's normal. It's just probing

Shouldn't be a problem to leave them in.

Looks like an incorrectly configured DHCP server.

What does your configuration look like?

For reference, here's what I use for my Cobalt.

host raq {
        hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff;
        fixed-address 10.1.1.1;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option root-path "/cobalt/snapshot";
}
