Netboot fix

Jamesbond reported a problem with netboot, testing Wary 5.0, but it is a Woof problem and also applies to Lucid Puppy.

re usbhd patch

"I like the first one, the usbhd patch, have applied it. I am still not sure about making that change for unetbootin. I would rather that the unetbootin developer made the change to modify the pmedia entry.

"Found the fix for network boot also allows unetbootin. Note: Searching the pupsave for 2 level deep takes long time.
