Bug Description

Binary package hint: casper

In the scripts/casper script, the mountroot function is called before the network interface is enabled. Usually, this doesn't cause a problem because mountroot only mounts local filesystems like the CDROM for example. However, when calling nfsmount, it is necessary for an address to be assigned to the network interface.

To solve this problem, the following wiki page suggests calling udevtrigger and then udevsettle before calling ipconfig on the network device:
