SystemInstaller did some of this a long time ago. The real issue is that
SystemImager has the concept of 1 ip per machine name pretty firmly
hardcoded in it (using hosts files and such). You'd have to gut that out to
make a reasonable solution here. Also, getting more than 1 dhcp response
starts getting pretty tricky, so you'd really need to truly generate a new
autoinstallscript per client if you wanted to support static ip on multiple
interfaces.
If you just want dhcp add lines to /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf in
the image like:
[INTERFACE1]
DEVICE = eth1
TYPE = dhcp
[INTEFACE2]
DEVICE= eth2
TYPE = dhcp
etc.
Anyway, I'm going to revert that one last change, as I know many people that
it will break.
