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.
