Console-conf and ip address

[Loïc Minier]

I agree this isn't great; I wanted to mention an old but still working
workaround: mDNS. Snapweb should publish a snapweb.local mDNS record on
your LAN, so ssh you at snapweb.local should work. Note that this only works
for one device at a time, so you want to change the hostname to have e.g.
rpi3-xyz.local.
