Package: diskless
Version: 0.3.17
Severity: normal

Hi,

the diskless-image-* packages have eth0 hardcoded in /sbin/init, which
is a problem, if one wants to boot from eth1 :)


diskless-image-{simple,secure}/init:
        IP=`ifconfig | grep -A1 eth0 | grep -v eth0 | sed 's/^.*inet addr:\([0-9\.]\+\).*$/\1/'`
	
The following snippet is more robust (and gives a better error message
in case it still fails).  The explicit test for an interface is not
needed, since at that point there should be only one interface up,
AFAICT (the one set up by the kernel).  In (the unlikely) case there
is another one up (say, if there are two, and for each a DHCP request
succeeds), the first one is taken here:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	IP="$(ifconfig | sed -n -e '/^[[:space:]]*inet addr:\([[:digit:].]*\).*$/{s//\1/p;q;}')"
	if [ -n "$IP" ]
	then
		echo "Client IP address is $IP"
	else
		echo "$0: could not determine IP address.  Bailing out."
		exit 1
	fi
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I looked around for a better way to obtain the client's IP address,
but couldn't find one...

BTW: Is there a reason why *-secure/init and *-simple/init are not the
same?  It looks like they've gone out of sync at some point.


Cheers,
M/
