Oh, okay. IIRC at one point there was an option to pick an interface
with link (ksdevice=link or some such), but I don't know if that made it
to the re-designed anaconda...

Yep, still there, but it is also not needed (and actually ignored). By
default, the first NIC with a link will be used. This is for some value
of "first" of course, although I do find that the new naming does tend
to match the order of the hardware more often than eth0/eth1/...
