What happened for me - I booted the installer out of grub with
kernel ... vnc vncconnect=<ip> ip=dhcp lang=en_US keymap=us device=ethX
it boots and anaconda prompts for other eth device info before starting up
vnc - so I had to type at console to tell it info about the other nics -
after that it talks the listening vnc client at remote end -
Well, I went ahead and tried with the following:
----------
title Fedora Core 6 Install
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-FC6 lang=en_US keymap=us
method=nfs:192.168.2.24:/Fedora vnc device=eth1 ip=192.168.2.10
netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.2.1 dns=192.168.2.1
initrd /boot/initrd-FC6.img
----------
Rebooted, installer came up and asked exactly 1 question: Which
device to configure. All I had to do was highlight eth1 and hit return
and it continued on. Didn't ask me for any more information and went
straight into Anaconda and launched VNC after which I was able to connect.
My co-worker now dubs himself 'The Monkey that pushed the button.'
So it seems the installer ignores the device= option. A bug perhaps?
