[Bug 1536597] [NEW] error of processing hwaddr kernel option

 

Public bug reported:

The file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init contains a error of processing
hwaddr kernel option: the prefix "BOOTIF" is removed from the option
string "hwaddr=*".

    hwaddr=*)
        BOOTIF=${x#BOOTIF=}                                                                              
        ;;

It should be

    hwaddr=*)
        BOOTIF=${x#hwaddr=}                                                                              
        ;;

The patch is attached.
