As per the documentation for the "dhcp" command:

  http://ipxe.org/cmd/dhcp

If no network interfaces are explicitly specified, iPXE will try all available 
network interfaces.  The command "dhcp" with no arguments will do what you 
want.

(The rationale for this was to keep the "dhcp" command consistent with other 
commands that take a list of network devices, such as "ifopen".)
