--device=

Used to select a specific Ethernet device for installation.

Note that using --device= will not be effective unless the kickstart 
file is a local file (such as ks=floppy), since the installation program 
will configure the network to find the kickstart file. For example:

network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0
