Subject: [PATCH] make nfsroot accept server addresses from BOOTP root

Here's a handy little patch that makes the kernel parse out the ip
address of the nfs server from the bootp root path.  Otherwise it's
impossible to boot the kernel without command line options on diskless
workstations (I hate RPL).
