Hi Klas, the installer is using an existing interface for the bridge. The idea is that an administrator would first configure the host networking and only then download and install the software. We have many cases where admins use vlans and bonds, and static IP is probably the easiest case ;) So the right way is to first configure your eth/em interface with your networking preferences (static IP in this case), and then yum install hosted engine. Yes, it is possible to change it during the process and afterwards (need to shut down relevant services) but the best way is configuring network first.
