Bug#724605: live-boot: BOOTIF option is effectively ignored requires NETBOOT to be non-empty

[Ricky Chan]

Subject: live-boot: fsdfsd
Package: live-boot
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

1. BOOTIF option not used.
in file: 9990-networking.sh, line 57 there should be this change:
DEVICE=${device##*/}
change to
ETHDEVICE=${device##*/}

As you can see by the subsequent logic, it will basically ignore this 
setting and on a multi-interface

system possibily use the wrong interface to do ipconfig.

2. For BOOTIF to be used, it must pass
if [ -z ${NETBOOT} ]  [ -z ${FETCH} ]  [ -z ${HTTPFS} 
]  [ -z ${FTPFS} ]
This will mean typical FAI setup's will as typically root will be set to 
root=/dev/nfs and in the script's this will always set

NETBOOT to nfs and hence BOOTIF won't be used.
BOOTIF should be considered even if NETBOOT is not empty.

By making these modification I can confirm typical FAI setup are working 
where multiple network interface exists.
