My bootloader (gpxe) does not append BOOTIF= automatically.

But I tried setting manually: 'ksdevice=bootif BOOTIF=11:22:33:44:55' and also 
tried it with quotes around the MAC as in 'ksdevice=bootif 
BOOTIF="11:22:33:44:55" ' but neither works.
It gives a "You have multiple network devices on this system. Which would you 
like to install through?" prompt.

At least with ksdevice=11:22:33:44:55 it got passed that screen. (but in that 
case the trouble starts after it finished downloading and processing the 
kickstart file).
