If you use the systems command line option for buildiso, all the necessary network info gets put into the resulting image.
This requires you to put the network info into the cobbler system object, of course.

I do this regularly as I am in an environment without any access to the (Windows only) DHCP server.

I went through this last week. Unless there's a better way, I added the network lines within the --kopts option for each system.

One way to do it is when the cobbler menu comes up and you select your kickstart file, hit the TAB key to edit the parameters and add this at the end of the line: ip=192.168.1.244 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.1 ksdevice=eth0

In my opinion, if a system has a static interface defined that is also listed as the management interface, these options should be automatically added to the append line. 

Created https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/414 to track this.
