configured_ifaces is a function that returns the names of each interface
that the user wanted configured.
Currently, this is accomplished by reading the list from
/tmp/net.ifaces. But if we want to allow the user to specify an
interface by its MAC address or IP or something, we need a function that
will read the cache and convert the MACs etc. to names.
(Obviously this conversion only works once udev starts, so it will warn
you if you try it too early.)
Now that we can use a MAC as a device identifier, we can just bring up
the device specified by BOOTIF as a normal interface.
So instead of ignoring everything but BOOTIF, we'll put BOOTIF in the
IFACES list and bring it up as normal, defaulting to DHCP if nothing
else is specified.
We can also handle anaconda-style 'ksdevice=bootif' this way.
A MAC address is a unique identifier for a particular network interface.
We can use the MAC to generate udev rules to bring up that interface,
like we currently do with BOOTIF.
This patch allows interfaces to be specified as a MAC address, either
in the usual colon-separated form or the PXE-style dash-separated form.
(The latter is more useful on the commandline, since it allows for
arguments like: "ip=77-77-6f-6f-64-73:dhcp")
This is useful since it's common for a user who is booting a new OS for
the first time to know the MAC of the device, but not know what the
kernel name will be.
To set the default font for your distribution, add
i18n_default_font="latarcyrheb-sun16"
to your /lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf distribution config.
Scripts in dracut initqueue hooks are placed under
/usr/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/*/ directory.
And also start initqueue service when kernel cmdline has
rd.break=initqueue

Currently in initrd, hardware clock is always considered to use UTC time
format and system time zone is also UTC. Thus system time isn't correct
if hw clock is localtime or we're using other time zone in real root.
To fix this, install /etc/adjtime and /etc/localtime to initrd. If not
using systemd, install /usr/sbin/hwclock for dracut init to setup system
time.

chroot load_policy will use selinuxfs which should be mounted
in $NEWROOT/sys/fs/selinux for Fedora 19, but because there's
no $NEWROOT/sys/fs, so later process will fail.
Fixing this by bind mount /sys to $NEWROOT/sys.
