Yes it supports BOOTP, but ...

You may well have problems if you want the same address to be given 
out both times. This is a general problem that affects all dual or 
multistage boot environments - but if do not supply a client-id in 
the dhcp request then it should be OK.

There is a specific incantation you need to use to allow bootp, check 
the man pages.
