Re: RH9 network KS w/multiple interfaces?

[Richard Black <richard black hp com>]

This is done in two parts:
1. in syslinux.cfg to specify where to get the ks.cfg from and
2. in ks.cfg to determine which interface to get access the installation 
files.

syslinux.cfg:
append ks=nfs:192.168.0.1:/var/ftp/pub/kickstart/rh9-notify-ks.cfg 
initrd=rh9-stock-pxeboot-initrd.img ksdevice=eth0

ks.cfg:
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0

This works great on my boxes that have 2 network cards.

Sincerely,
Richard Black
