Actually that's probably a waste of space, binary 1 = PCI, 2 = ISA,
others for later use should suffice.

6 bytes total.

As for any potential objection that it's unreadable binary, the rest of
the DHCP packet is unreadable binary anyway, space matters (the more
parsimonious you are with your options, the more space for other
options), and it makes the Etherboot shorter, just copy in the IDs, via
htons().
