Ah, I see; ipconfig *is* being used with a timeout value, it would seem. You meant initramfs in the sense of ipconfig is a part of the Early User Space tools, like as discussed at http://linux-sh.org/shwiki/Using_Early_User_Space, yeah? Sorry, didn't get that. There really isn't *any* documentation for the klibc tools, is there? That's really sad. :( OK, I'll go yell at them instead.
