If a node has multiple network cards, the standard network install procedure for
Linux does not provide any means to choose which card to use for the
installation. The only way around this is to install in expert mode, and
configure the proper network card only, or physically remove all but the proper
network card. It is also necessary to manually add any proper SCSI drivers.

I hope that this is fixed in a future Linux version.
