I don't quite follow your example, but you seem to have similar problems to 
what I had. 

I collect all the answers from the ask section, and the put them into one file 
with a chroot script. The init script then makes use of them. Take a look a 
the presentation examples in the brainshare presentation I did. linked from 
http://www.suse.com/~ug/presentations/index.html or an example on the 
opensuse wiki. http://en.opensuse.org/AutoYaST

There's an example script that copies the answers into the newly installed 
system and some other stuff too. Some of the scripts aren't too easy to 
follow, so ask if you have any questions on them. 

In answer to you question on boot loaders, if you do have problems with 
different hardware, you  could use different bootloader sections with 
different ethernet mac addresses via include files.  There's an example on 
the wiki about that too.
