You can make a configuration file named udpcfg.txt and place it on the
boot floppy (or include it via makeImage --savefile ... if you use
other boot media).

The netmask may be set using the netmask parameter in that config
file.

More details (other parameters...) at
http://udpcast.linux.lu/bootloader.html#configFile

However, usually netmask shouldn't have any incidence on performance
(as long as all network participants agree on the same netmask,
obviously...)
