iPXE also does this, which is why I mentioned it. But either way, using cloud images with cloud-init was my suggestion for network setup of the boot image that you use. If you want something more barebones and don't want to spend effort with extra userspace software, you might try just setting the network up with `IP=` kernel arguments in your initramfs. I've only played with doing that in VMs, but I imagine that it would work more or less the same way on bare metal.
