Using eth0's MAC address for provisioning
Description
Foreman Discovery uses eth0's MAC address from facts for provisioning, so while booting from different NIC you've to manually change the MAC address.
app/models/host/discovered.rb#L49 --- h.mac = values["macaddress_eth0"].downcase
On irc Ohad mentioned about using IPAPPEND 2 -> (BOOTIF=<hardware-address-of-boot-interface>) like Anaconda does, if it's possible of course.

I think it might be possible to use MAC address from /proc/cmdline after PXE booting with IPAPPEND 2 and then send it via custom fact to foreman.

If I remember correctly, IPAPPEND causes the kernel cmdline to contain the appropriate mac. The issue will be that we don't send the MAC to Foreman, it's a pull of the facts from the client rather than a push to Foreman. I can probably figure out a way to do it though ;)
