The initrd creates new ifcfg-ethX files for the defined ethernet interface for 
its internal use. I.e. for all <eth /> entries for the node in the 
cluster.conf. These file are only valid inside the initrd.

The mkinitd does not modify the ifcfg-ethX files. 
If you want to define the HWADDR parameter in the ifcfg-ethX files, you have 
to make them hostdependent.
