Hi Dan,Thanks for responding. I think that your kernel option is similar to 'netcfg/choose_interface', and in any case on my system was set toksdevice: bootifThat was actually a nice pointer, because the solution seems to be setting kernel option BOOTIF=<mac> and leaving netcfg/choose_interface=auto, rather than assigning it as I had been. So far, that seems to be working with the few permutations I've tested.Thanks,Asher_______________________________________________On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 10:47 AM, Dan White <ygor@comcast.net> wrote:In /etc/cobbler/settings:

Subject: [cobbler] Setting PXE interface to eth0
Hi All,
I have a machine with multiple nics, and the nic that is being used to boot from pxe ends up getting set as eth2 by Ubuntu 12.04 after install.
This causes some problems for mac address mappings and some other assumptions I've made. Is there a simple way to set the pxe interface to eth0 by default? I'm unfortunately using preseed files instead of kickstarts to drive the installer, but I suppose I could look to change that.
Thanks!
Asher
