Hi Dan,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for responding. I think that your kernel option is similar to &#39;netcfg/choose_interface&#39;, and in any case on my system was set to </div><div>ksdevice: bootif</div><div><br></div><div>
That was actually a nice pointer, because the solution seems to be setting kernel option BOOTIF=&lt;mac&gt; 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&#39;ve tested.</div>

Subject: [cobbler] Setting PXE interface to eth0<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi All,<br>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<br>
This causes some problems for mac address mappings and some other assumptions I&#39;ve made. Is there a simple way to set the pxe interface to eth0 by default? I&#39;m unfortunately using preseed files instead of kickstarts to drive the installer, but I suppose I could look to change that.<br>

<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
<br>
Asher<br>
