The following page has been changed by MattDomsch:

The comment on the change is:
ksdevice=bootif tip.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   * Not all IDE RAID controllers are supported. If your RAID controller is not yet supported by `dmraid`, you may combine drives into RAID arrays by configuring Linux software RAID. For supported controllers, configure the RAID functions in the computer BIOS.
  
+  * 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.  If network installing using PXE, you can use the following in pxelinux.cfg/* config files:
+ 
+ {{{IPAPPEND 2
+ APPEND ksdevice=bootif
+ }}}
+ 
+ which causes the installer to use the same network interface as BIOS and PXE use.  Other options include using:
+ {{{ksdevice=link
+ }}}
+ 
+ to cause the installer to use the first network device it finds that has "link" to a network switch.
