NFS boot with a dhcpless network

I want to setup three machines to boot over the network from an nfs root.
The network doesn't have a dhcp server (I prefer if it's possible to do it
without one) and the network card is only supported with newer kernels
(2.6.28-rc).

Is there a way to do it through grub or do I need to setup a minimal system and
boot from it?

Any pointers on how to set this up?

Thanks
