Comment (by soulspecter):

 In section 4.4, according to
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Installer#Installation_media],
 we might need to make note that:

 "Multiple NICs and PXE installation

 Some servers with multiple network interfaces may not assign eth0 to the
 first network interface as BIOS knows it, which can cause the installer to
 try using a different network interface than was used by PXE. To change
 this behavior, use the following in pxelinux.cfg/* config files:

 IPAPPEND 2
 APPEND ksdevice=bootif

 The configuration options above causes the installer to use the same
 network interface as BIOS and PXE use. You can also use the following
 option:

 ksdevice=link

 This option causes the installer to use the first network device it finds
 that is linked to a network switch."

 The attached XML file has this change.
