ipconfig: Document setting of NIS domain name
ic_do_bootp_ext() is responsible for parsing the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel parameters. If a "." character is found in parameter 4 (the client's hostname), everything before the first "." is used as the hostname, and everything after it is used as the NIS domain name (but not necessarily the DNS domain name). Document this behaviour in Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt, as it is not made explicit. Signed-off-by: Chris Novakovic <chris@chrisn.me.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
