Bug#532471: ip= boot parameter wrongly documented in man live-initramfs
Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.156.1-1
Severity: minor
man says:
ip[=frommedia]
If this variable is set, dhcp and static configuration are just
skipped and the system will use the (must be) media-preconfigured
/etc/network/interfaces instead.
but it is wrong; man should say
ip=[frommedia]
as it is clear after this excerpt of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live
ip=*)
STATICIP="${ARGUMENT#ip=}"
if [ -z "${STATICIP}" ]
then
STATICIP="frommedia"
