Keep me posted on that one. If you are recompiling anaconda... can you
tweak the part where it writes ifcfg-ethX to check for existing files
and _not_ overwrite them?

I don't want to hard-code sdb1 anywhere. That's the real issue, and
will probably take a bit of work in anaconda. The 'cdrom' thing is an
alias, and must be triggering a "what's my first SCSI/ATA device that
looks like a cdrom, ah, that's what the user meant" bit of logic.
Anaconda should have a "usbdrive:/" alias...

cheers,
