With koan there is the ability to supply --static-interface to configure the 
boot line for static ip build but using buildiso it will default to eth0 or 
bond with eth0. If I specify ksdevice=mac or ksdevice=eth1 as a kernel param, 
buildiso passes ksdevice=xxx but takes the ip details from eth0, which if I 
passed ksdevice=eth1 would be the wrong ip details.

Is is worth amending the code to pay attention to ksdevice or say allowing a 
new parameter in the network config to pass say --bootif=[mac|ethx] and then 
getting buildiso to use that ?  I am happy to take a look at the code but not 
sure of best direction ?

Other thoughts with koan livecd would there be a away to detect the correct 
interface for a given ip ?  We have servers that have multiple cards and 
dependant on hardware, version of linux working out the correct eth becomes a 
real headache.  Even knowing MAC addresses does not always allow you to plug 
the correct cable into the right port.

Cheers,
Simon
