Personally I don't think another boot parameter is a good idea. Specially 
if it is meant for the non-expert users...
I'd prefer making the DHCP/static question high priority in this case. And 
if there are complaints about Joe User not knowing what this question is 
about, I'd suggest extending the explanation in that dialog.
