Hi,

The attached patch adds Option 55 (Parameter Request List) to RedBoot's 
DHCP request.  Subnet Mask, Router and Domain Name Server are requested.

It appears that certain DHCP servers require this option to provide the 
gateway (Router) address.

	* src/net/bootp.c (__bootp_find_local_ip): Adds Option 55 Parameter
	Request List) to the DHCP request (requests: Subnet Mask; Router;
	Domain Name server).
