I usually build disk images to be installed in other locations in
as-yet-unknown machines - so the guy installing ends up plugging in one
cable at a time, using mii-tool to see which link came up, and assigning
the IP for that subnet, then going to the next. Not handy, but it works
and doesn't take that much more time than dealing with MAC addresses would.
