dhcp on ethN instead of eth0

Hi,

If I properly understand the need, you want to force the device used
just before the nfsmount phase during a netboot.

$ grep "ip=" /usr/src/linux/Documentation/nfsroot.txt
ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>

So I'll try to append to the kernel append line something like ip=:::::ethN:dhcp

Cheers
