[issue1174] grml 2012.05 runs DHCP actions in foreground causing delays during booting

[Michael Prokop]

New submission from Michael Prokop <mika at grml.org>:

As spotted by Zhenech the 2012.05 release runs DHCP configuration in foreground
instead of running it in the background and therefore causing delays especially
on systems with multiple NICs or no useable DHCP infrastructure at all.

This bug is caused by ifupdown:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673658

Workaround for the time being: add the "nonetworking" boot option to disable
network configuration during bootup, devices can be configured later on as usual
(netcardconfig, ifconfig,...).
