Currently, network configuration arguments are ignored *unless* the root device is a network device. But there are some cases where you might want to set up the network even though you have a non-network root device (e.g. to fetch updates from the network for a livecd image). With this patch you can set "netroot=no", which will cause dracut to set up the network according to your other boot arguments but not attempt to set up a network root device.
