PXE Linux Template needs IPAPPEND 2 added
Description
It appears that IPAPPEND 2 is required when using ksdevice=bootif.
I recently installed two HP Proliant DL380e Servers with an integrated 4 port NIC having only port 1 wired. According to various documentation, Fedora, CentOS, RedHat this is required to allow the PXE'd NIC to be passed to the loaded installer kernel to avoid the network interface selection prompt.
The PXE Linux Template should look something like:
default linux
label linux
kernel boot/<whatever>-vmlinuz
ipappend 2
append initrd=boot/<whatever>-initrd.img ks=http://foreman.example.com:80/unattended/provision ksdevice=bootif network kssendmac

Sean, I think this got already fixed by https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/commit/b8a3c64f4c1783a119a07bc74778847a68d8ee2e and also went into Foreman 1.4. You probably have to sync your templates to those newer versions.

Is there documentation on how to perform this template sync?
I can see that the code is in place, I concede that the issue is resolved :)

I recommend to use the foreman_templates plugin: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_templates and an own git repo with https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates as upstream.
