I guess it would all depend on what ISO you are using then because I built a
new system this weekend using 'CentOS-6.0-x86_64-minimal.iso' and upon reboot
I never get anything for first boot. I had to edit my configuration files by
hand to get the system online.
NetworkManager is a POS and should be dropped.
Of course this is my opinion and I stand by it.
