the framebuffer
The title is taken from the xorg x12 page, but it was a fitting title after days of going down a dark path of "the framebuffer". It might be mysterious to some, "the framebuffer", the "linux console", some might even try to hide it alltogether and try to deny its existence. Others display it proudly.

for label in /dev/disk/by-label/${input} ; do

So the answer to set a static IP? It turned out to be simpler than I thought, but it took me awhile to figure out. Assuming it is a IPv4 address, here is what you do.
