eth1 only

thanks you for pointing me there. 

Funny enough i found that parameter also with live-initramfs - it just get so ignored afterwards; I'll hook in a screenshot, hoping this list allows that. 

the kernel line goes like this:

label install-ipmi
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64
append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 live-netdev=eth1 ethdevice=eth1  ip=dhcp  serial console=ttyS1,19200n8 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/attic/PXEBOOT/nfsroot boot=live  FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install

However since this system needed to be in production, i got to talk someone trough the remote install by phone, enabling me to carry on working. Meaning i don't have a spare box now to try grlm on. 

Well, when a new box comes along i will give grml an spin!

Thank you again for pointing out grlm, regards,
