"ip" parameter in live-boot
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The man page of live-boot-doc (3.0~a38-1) mentions that:
=============================
ip=[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[AUTOCONF]
[,[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[AUTOCONF]]
Let you specify the name(s) and the options of the interface(s)
that should be configured at boot time. Do
not specify this if you want to use dhcp (default). It will be
changed in a future release to mimick offi‐
cial kernel boot param specification (e.g.
ip=10.0.0.1::10.0.0.254:255.255.255.0::eth0,:::::eth1:dhcp).
=============================
However, in scripts/boot/9990-netbase.sh, it reads:
ifname="$(echo ${ifline} | cut -f1 -d ':')"
ifaddress="$(echo ${ifline} | cut -f2 -d ':')"
ifnetmask="$(echo ${ifline} | cut -f3 -d ':')"
ifgateway="$(echo ${ifline} | cut -f4 -d ':')"
It looks they are not consistent. I believe the man page should mention
like:
ip=[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]
[,[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]]

Or maybe I missed something?
