On a not-a-show-stopper note, is there any way to get around specifying

that I can have one generic script for many machines. Further, what if
a some other machine has a different kind of NIC? By hardcoding these
values into install.cfg, the solution becomes much less maintainable.
Why can't it obtain the hostname from DHCP? Any thoughts on this?

Net device, I think you're out of luck.  As for the hostname, if the
DHCP server actually sends a hostname, then you *can* leave it out of
install.cfg.
