8bd0674 [archiso] Add DNS resolver support to archiso_pxe_common
The DNS resolver does not work. First, the symlinks
/lib/libnss_{files,dns}.so.2 are missing, only the
libnss_{files,dns}-2.14.1.so are there.
If I create the right symlinks, the resolver seems to do something, but
times out. Using an IP address works fine. I don't know what's wrong
with the resolver, I might have a look later.
I inserted an IP address instead of a name for the moment, you can try
netbooting by running
qemu -m 1G -kernel gpxe.lkrn [1]
Download takes a while, but the image boots up fine.

Okay, I think I found the problem:
The ip= command line option doesn't pass a DNS server! The ipconfig
utility simply uses the same as the remote server - which is wrong in
the case of qemu.
Instead of IPAPPEND 3, I now use ip=dhcp and the resolver works.
The issue will be when machine has two or more network devices. You need
to pass manually BOOTIF option, otherwise ipconfig will setup all
network devices with the same settings.
