2. Not sure if this is still the case for 1.6, but prior to XS 6.0.2,
in the scripting section, we blew away /etc/firstboot.d/interfaces
files and recreated them. From my understanding, this is what xapi
uses on first boot after installation to populate its state.db.
The interfaces there are all listed based on mac.

In what stage did you do that? After the installation, but before the first boot? Seems like I will have to use <script> directive at answers file after all, but not sure about the most suitable stage.

2. <admin-interface name="eth0" />
Sometimes the interfaces are detected in different order. Is it possible to 
specify the interface by something else, instead of it's name? MAC address, for 
example?
I could try to play around with <script stage="filesystem-populated">:
find the desired interface, rename it to something very specific and use that 
name as admin-interface, but i wish to avoid that complexity, if possible.
I have found this question asked elswhere, but not answered.
