As far as I'm aware the "appliancey" way to reuse disk images is to
login in and fix all this once you fire the machines up. This is

make firstboot do.
So.. each boot would need to do this, since in theory the mac address
could change between launches.
(Hmm, thought I replied to this, if so, apologize for the double-post).
No, the MAC address should travel with the VM config.
The approach we took with Virt-Factory is to not use disk images, but
start the install fresh every time, and use config management to push
changes down.
In a controlled environment, or once koan takes over the world, I
would agree. However... this will not work in all cases (e.g. demo
applliances, or operating systems with no public tree)
In demo-ware, you shouldn't care about the MAC being persistant and DHCP
should be your friend.
As for no public tree cases, well, we're talking images, aren't we? If
so, it's not /really/ kickstart-list anymore... you have the
opportunity to log in, fix them up right, before redistribution, no?
