Rob Tompkins may be able to help you out. He has created a bunch of scripts using some Scyld tools that capture MAC addresses to a flat file as they ARP using beoboot. Most operations are then done using calls to the node's ordinal number so if you wanted to assign IP addresses you could encapsulate it in a bpsh script... the docs on bpsh aren't on the Scyld site, I don't believe, so I will ask Rob for the syntax. We are going to see if we can recreate this functionality in other shells.
