You can define the ks interface over which you would like to install. I
install via pxeboot, and this is what I wrote in the
pxelinux.cfg/default file:


append initrd=initrd.img ks=nfs:192.168.0.254:/files/fedora/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth2


Also, in the ks.cfg file you can use --device as a parameter in the
network section. My example: 

#Network information
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth2 --nameserver 192.168.0.254

You will obviously have to use eth1 instead of eth2.
