DHCP Option 150

Question

I'm wondering if anybody knows some way to configure the AEBS to distribute DHCP options - specifically, the TFTP server option 150. I've got a piece of development hardware that I have to flash over TFTP.
It's actually a home-theater receiver that I've been developing the firmware for. I had been simply running it in my lab on a separate network served by DHCP Turbo in Windows, but now I've moved it to my living room, so I can actually use the thing. It's stable in the lab, so I want to get some real-world use on it. I don't have a separate network drop out there - just the AEBS network.
I have a clunkier way to flash it, but I prefer using the netboot built into the receiver's CPU, which requires DHCP, and Option 150. There's no NV storage for the server address on board, without adding dedicated hardware.
The real problem here is that I actually want the thing on the AEBS network, since I've added a lot of internet connectivity to the box The separate network would just be for flashing, and so I have to keep switching networks between flashing and debugging. This will be even more of a pain, now that I've moved the receiver out of the lab.
I was hoping somebody knew about some super-secret backdoor configuration for the AEBS DHCP server. Not at all optimistic about this, but hope springs eternal.
My fallback is to set up a separate wireless network out to the living room, and keep running out to manually switch networks. Yuck.

Novell's dhcp console only goes to Option 133...
If you have C-1, you might be able to add option 150 manually to the DHCP object. I've done something like that before for another option which never seemed to work well once you added it through the DHCP console...
