when etherboot is configured to pass the ip= option(so you only get one
call to dhcp), it unfortunately doesn't pass the whole string, but only
the first 4 or 5 segments. this causes the DEVICE value to get set to
the whole ip= string.
attached is a patch that should detect this case and fallback to the
default DEVICE (usually eth0).
sure is hard to implement this stuff without "cut" or "awk" :)
