[Bug 302041] [NEW] initramfs BOOT=nfs, DEVICE=all - workaround

[madorc]

Public bug reported:

If in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf set BOOT=nfs and DEVICE=all (to do not bind specific interface, if you have more whan one), you cannot boot with error: 
/tmp/net-all.conf: No such file or directory
...and kernel panic, attempt to kill init...

I have found workaround... Simply in file /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/scripts/functions, change following from:

{skiped}
# source ipconfig output
if [ -n "${DEVICE}" ]; then
{skiped}

to:
{skiped}
if [ -n "${DEVICE}" ] && [ "${DEVICE}" != "all" ]; then
{skiped}

...and #update-initramfs -c -k all...

After what, you clients continue booting from first dhcp-positive answer
recieved...

Usefull for diskless servers or any diskless clients with more whan one
network controller...
