Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1055

Describe the bug
when first booting netboot.xyz , it gives up on dhcp and ask you for the connection details;
after your tell netboot the ip/gateway/mask it will ask you what system to boot: if you choose gparted, this will happen:

when it tries to download gparted, it will try dhcp again and fail, this time it won't ask though, it wil just start a busybox shell...

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
try to boot gparted on a network without dhcp

Expected behavior
it should either remember the network settings, or ask again

Screenshots
see above

Additional context
tested on netboot.xyz version 2.0.53 released 2021-11-22

probably related to, and possibly a duplicate of, #1043

setting the ip with kernel boot parameters work, eg

ip=[DEVICE]:[CLIENT_IP]:[NETMASK]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NAMESERVER]

important to note that DEVICE must be a iface name like ens1f0 , just specifying "0" for the first device does not work.
