This builds on the NFS root work to allow other network methods to hook

unconfigured -- this should probably be added.

This is a definite must. Actually, to support multiple interfaces we should even go so far and ensure that there is only one interface configured at any one time.

--> Consider the following case: Two interfaces and both receive a valid default route via dhcp. If we allow both interfaces to be configured after receiving the dhcp-reply, the second default-route will go byebye. I suggest to move the actual interface (de-)configuration into the netroot script.
