[Bug 1018558] [NEW] d-i ignores netcfg/disable_dhcp=true from the kernel command line

[Mark Russell]

Public bug reported:

>From my testing so far this problem began with oneiric and continues
with precise.  Lucid and Natty work as expected.

What I expect to happen:

1) boot mini, alternate, or server install ISO (i.e. any debian-installer based ISO)
2) append "netcfg/disable_dhcp=true" before the double-dash in the kernel command line
3) start installer
4) be prompted for IP configuration


What happens:

1) boot mini, alternate, or server install ISO
2) append "netcfg/disable_dhcp=true" before the double-dash in the kernel command line
3) start installer
4) d-i attempts to configure with DHCP

** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
