Oops! My fault.... the ip= command _IS_ part of CONFIG_IP_PNP .... hmmm...
then, is there anyway to compile a kernel for nfsrooting that doesn't stop
at the BOOTP/RARP request for minutes? It seems that even if you pass the
ip= command line, it continues to look for boot information from across
the net.

G'day!
