Certainly, but it's nice not to have to load boot blocks that then just load the kernel if you can just load the kernel in one step. The OS will use dhclient to get its address.
I guess my point is that you're not actually eliminating the need to use / set up DHCP.  Ultimately, DHCP will come into play.

Yah, violent agreement. You need a dhcp server. But, you don't necessarily want rarpd, bootparamd, and nfs!
