+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #233152 +++

If I boot rawhide with 'ip=dhcp ks=[url]' on the commandline, my system does not
attempt dhcp, and fails to retrieve the kickstart.

If I boot without 'ip=dhcp', the system *does* perform a DHCP request, gets an
address, and happily continues.

This is with anaconda-11.2.0.38, from today's rawhide.

Figured it out.  Here's the patch:

I love loader.  Fixed in anaconda CVS, closing as rawhide.  Will appear in the
next anaconda build.  You know the drill.
