Enable the attachment of a dynamic target to the target created during boot time. The boot-time targets are named as "cmdline\d", where "\d" is a number starting at 0. If the user creates a dynamic target named "cmdline0", it will attach to the first target created at boot time (as defined in the `netconsole=...` command line argument). `cmdline1` will attach to the second target and so forth. If there is no netconsole target created at boot time, then, the target name could be reused.
