Bug#615600: BOOTIF= kernel commandline option does not work

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20110106+b1

Hi,
I try to install a HP DL180G6 fully automated. The Server has an addtional dualport NIC. kernel and initrd are loaded over the NIC labeled 0 on the Box, after the kernel has initialized all NICs the first Ethernet on the add in card is eth0. 

~ # cat /proc/cmdline
initrd=/boot/DEBIAN6_x8664/initrd.gz preseed/url=http://4.3.2.1/installation/profiles/1cc1deebab9e BOOTIF=01-1C-C1-DE-EB-AB-9E BOOT_DEBUG=2 DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 fb=false language=en console-setup/layoutcode=de locale=en_US netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 hostname=review-dl180g6 domain=server.lan usb_storage.blacklist=yes console-keymaps-at/keymap=de console-keymaps-usb/keymap=mac-usb-de-latin1 debian-installer/country=US console=ttyS0 BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/DEBIAN6_x8664/linux 

Booting the commandline on this machine results in this
~ # ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000 
    link/ether 00:15:17:cc:d0:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 1c:c1:de:eb:ab:9e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000 
    link/ether 00:15:17:cc:d0:17 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: eth3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 1c:c1:de:eb:ab:9f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
this is seriously twisted, because 1c:c1:de:eb:ab:9e and f are onboard igb devices and 00:15:17:cc:d0:16 and 7 are on one dualport e1000e add in Card. 

Please fix this.

Thanks Thomas
