[lug] network boot messages

I made sure there were netmasks with the correct values in both of those and 
it didn't stop the problem so I rummaged around and found some garbage 
in/etc/sysconfig/static-routes (probably left from my thrashing with the dns 
problem in my other message.). 

Cleaned out static-routes and my boot messages are clean again.

Thanks
