hi, all.
i've make a small patch to grub to allow it to use a config files based
on ip address when booting. if vendor tag 150 contains the name of a
directory (ie the last character is '/') then it will append the
machine's ip address.
for example if tag 150 is "/tftpboot/byip/" and the machines ip address
is 12.34.56 then grub will load "/tftpboot/byip/12.34.56".
