Bug#667435: live-boot-initramfs-tools: Using kernel parameter nfsopts results in an incorrect invocation of nfsmount

Package: live-boot-initramfs-tools
Version: 2.0.15-1
Severity: wishlist

If the Linux kernel parameter "nfsopts" is used then scripts/live ends
up calling nfsmount incorrectly.

nfsmount is invoked like so:

nfsmount -o nolock -o ro ${NFSOPTS} "${NFSROOT}" "${mountpoint}" && rc=0 && break

If, for example, a kernel command line like this is used:

root=/dev/nfs hostname=rescue boot=live config nfsroot2.168.80.243:/srv/rescue nfsopts=tcp

then that results in the following being invoked:

nfsmount -o nolock -o ro tcp 192.168.80.243:/srv/rescue /live/image && rc=0 && break

This is a syntax error and results in a failed boot. Hacking a "-o "
onto the front of NFSOPTS works, if NFSOPTS is set.
