chboot sub disable question/issue

Hi David,

I can't really say whether this is a bug or a feature, but what happens is:

- task_chboot calls $frsh /usr/sbin/fai-chboot -vd $ipaddr
- hence fai-chboot will use ip2hex to translate $ipaddr to a MAC address
- ip2hex does the translation to a form without "-" and no leading 01

What you would need is a modification of task_chboot that calls fai-chboot with
the MAC address in 01-... format - or switch your pxeconfig names to a different
format.

Hope this helps,
Michael
