For those that want to confirm the bug and don't have spanning tree on their network switches...

* Setup workstation for diskless boot.
* Turn on the diskless client...
- Watch the link light as soon as the kernel starts to load.
- You will see the link light turn off as the kernel loads the network driver...
- At the very moment the link light goes off - unplug your network cable for a few seconds.
- This will simulate a spanning-tree type delay that some switches have.
