I had time to look into this today. The bootpc_init() routine *does*
wait for an interface to appear. The problem in this case is that BOOTP
isn't involved, and the nfs_setup_diskless() routine doesn't have a
similar wait loop for slow interfaces. The attached patch adds it, and
with it I can nfsmount root on my RPi without using the BOOTP_foo
options I listed above.
Rick, does this patch look okay to you? If no objections, I'll commit
this asap.
