Why do you call this weird? Is it not possible to use BOOTP to just
get an IP address assigned?
What method for network configuration do you suggest for a minimized
embedded system? Including tools like ifconfig and set-up scripts to
call them?
I've been using similar combinations (RARP + initrd) for some time
without problems; would this fail using BOOTP?
Ummm... let's see:
Using RARP:
...

ttyS01 at 0x0280 is a SMC
pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured
Found 2x16bit 4Mbyte CFI flash device of type AMD/Fujitsu standard at 40000000
registered flash device /dev/flash0
Found 2x16bit 4Mbyte CFI flash device of type AMD/Fujitsu standard at 40400000

Sending RARP requests.... OK

This works for me, too.
