BOOTIF is a pxelinux boot parameter. It is supported by the Debian
initramfs when pxe booting, but it is not supported by the Debian
installer.
Understood. While googling, I found
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504753. This does a
half hearted job by setting automatically netcfg/choose_interface.
Perhaps it should be. In the meantime, you can use the documented
preseeding interface of booting with interface=eth1. I don't think
netcfg allows specifying a interface by MAC though.
In my reality there are lots of boxes (>5k) with lots of different
configurations of onboard and addin cards.
To get my job done all those 5000 Machines must comply to some very very
basic guidelines. After the installation, the inner interface is always
eth0 if there is a public interface, it is eth1. If there are crosslinks
they are eth1 and onward.
I need a simple and powerful mechanism to enforce this against the
quirks of udev and bioses.
