[Bug 182940] Re: network NFS DHCP boot fails on multiple NIC machine

[Colin Watson]

It looks to me as if ip=eth1 should do it too?

        case ${IPOPTS} in
        none|off)
                # Do nothing
                ;;
        ""|on|any)
                # Bring up device
                ipconfig ${DEVICE}
                ;;
        dhcp|bootp|rarp|both)
                ipconfig -c ${IPOPTS} -d ${DEVICE}
                ;;
        *)
                ipconfig -d $IPOPTS

                # grab device entry from ip option
                NEW_DEVICE=${IPOPTS#*:*:*:*:*:*}
                if [ "${NEW_DEVICE}" != "${IPOPTS}" ]; then
                        NEW_DEVICE=${NEW_DEVICE%:*}
                else
                        # wrong parse, possibly only a partial string
                        NEW_DEVICE=
                fi
                if [ -n "${NEW_DEVICE}" ]; then
                        DEVICE="${NEW_DEVICE}"
                fi
                ;;
        esac

It looks like part of this bug was fixed as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467078, but the timeout is still needed.
