[Bug 1536597] Re: error of processing hwaddr kernel option

[Andy Whitcroft]

@Alexandr -- could you indicate which series of Ubuntu you are seeing
this in, as this appears to have been correct at least since 0.120 was
merged from Debian, and so it is correct in Xenial.  Thanks for
reporting.

Title:
  error of processing hwaddr kernel option

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init contains a error of
  processing hwaddr kernel option: the prefix "BOOTIF" is removed from
  the option string "hwaddr=*".

      hwaddr=*)
          BOOTIF=${x#BOOTIF=}                                                                              
          ;;

  It should be

      hwaddr=*)
          BOOTIF=${x#hwaddr=}                                                                              
          ;;

  The patch is attached.
