I've changed the default templates and settings to use ksdevice=bootif 
and ipappend 2 in the devel branch.

This should simplify some multiple network setups.

Heads up :)

If you do not like this option you can still use your old settings file 
or edit /etc/cobbler/settings to use whatever you like, as well as 
editing the templates used to generate the PXE configuration in 
/etc/cobbler/pxe*.template

For those that are wondering what this is about, see the Fedora 
documentation:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Installer.html


        5.3.3. 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 cause 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.
