Recovery mode netroot infinite loop (lucid)

[Erno Kuusela]

I installed Lucid alpha 2 (amd64) on an external USB drive, and tried it on an Acer Extensa 5635ZG that has
Nvidia video. I ran software update so it should be up to date as of today.

When booting into recovery mode and choosing the root shell with network,
it enters into a loop saying "/sbin/dhclient-script: line 75: syntax error near unexpected token '}',
priting some DHCPDISCOVER etc lines (it's getting a lease) and then printing the syntax error line
again. It finishes after a some time of bombarding the dhcp server, when my dhcp server
ceased to respond.

sudo nano /sbin/dhclient-script

        else # keep 'old' nameservers
            sed -n /^\w*[Nn][Aa][Mm][Ee][Ss][Ee][Rr][Vv][Ee][Rr]/p /etc/resolv.conf >>$new_resolv_conf
        fi
#___add__
    fi
