You can pass kernel command-line arguments which anaconda will recognise
to control the network addressing. See
/usr/share/doc/anaconda-*/command-line.txt

For example, in the bootloader config (in this case pxelinux):
label ks
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ks=nfs:10.1.1.1:/export/kickstart initrd=initrd.img ip=10.1.1.2 netmask=255.255.255.0
