This probably makes more sense after having a look at the manual page mknbi.1. You see that for both of these options you can pass in the value "rom". If you do, then the parameters received by DHCP will be passed on to the kernel. As these values are not known at the time when the image is built, we have to substitute the neccessary data at run time.
