I concur that a global setting should override netdev-specific settings here.  
I think that clearing just netX/filename and netX/root-path is maybe too 
specific; would it be cleaner to clear netX.dhcp (and proxydhcp etc) at the end 
of netboot()?  That would have the effect of undoing any DHCP-acquired settings 
at what seems to be the most appropriate point.
