Ok, I read the docs, and this is indeed a target MAC address. It may still
be easier to accept a regular MAC address like target_mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
as the module parameter (and a target_ip=A.B.C.D). In any case, here is a
script to automate this (ugly because of the conversions needed).
=========================================================================
#!/bin/sh
prog=netconsole-server
#
# initialize the netconsole using reasonable defaults (normally just the
# client IP address, and possibly the port. We can determine the MAC
# address of the client system, IP address, the correct device, and verify
# that we are using an ethernet interface (required for netconsole to work).
