Instead of loading an X server from the first host to respond to the terminal's request or specifying the boot server using BOOTP/DHCP, you can specify the names of the boot hosts.
Specifying the Initial Boot Host
To make sure that the terminal tries to boot first from a specific host, you can set the primary boot host's IP address using the boot-tcpip-desired-server parameter (Setup -> Change Setup Parameters -> Booting [TCP/IP Boot Options section] -> TCP/IP Desired Server). Save the new value in NVRAM. This parameter is used for both TFTP and NFS booting.
