In other words, just enter whatever currently-vacant address we WANT the
new box to have?!? That seems downright bizarre, and way too easy to

No, that's exactly how it works. The IBM i will send a BOOTP request,
which operations console will answer. BOOTP is the predecessor of
DHCP, which you probably are using already to give out IP adresses to
your PCs.
