Networking fix

Fixes a real bug where SageOS booted fine but had zero working network in some VM setups:

  • initramfs was missing e1000/e1000e/mii/pcnet32 NIC drivers (VirtualBox default NIC + several QEMU configs got no eth0 at all)
  • rootfs never had a working DHCP client — udhcpc was called but never installed on this Debian-based rootfs (silent no-op)

Fixed: added the missing NIC drivers, installed dhclient (isc-dhcp-client), added a carrier-wait loop before DHCP. Verified end-to-end in QEMU with both -device e1000 and -device virtio-net-pci — eth0 gets a DHCP lease and pings out in both cases.

Still beta — please test and confirm before we drop the beta label.
