So you would basically want the installer to rename the interfaces so that the interface that the system booted from (as given as BOOTIF kernel command line parameter) is eth0 in the freshly installed system? Maybe it would be a good idea not to have this enabled by default, but for example by a new command line parameter eth0=<macaddress> with the special case of eth0=bootif which would make sure that eth0 is the PXE device?
