When using the PXE loader and a stock kernel you can specify the root

of next-server (the siaddr entry in the dhcp packet). If you add
options BOOTP to your kernel this configuration causes a panic because
the kernel wants a root path like "10.1.0.1:/usr/diskless/5.2-CURRENT".
This has been annoying me for quite some time so today I took a look at
the problem. The following patch fixes it. I'd like to commit it soon,
any objections?


Yes please! - tested and fixes a long standing problem for us.
