Thanks Dennis!
I manage to install the cloud-init in Rhel 6.4
The hostname can be set via nocloud CDROM but not the ip or the mac address.
also cloud init try for 5 minutes to call for this address:
url_helper.py[WARNING]: Calling 'http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id' failed [0/120s]: http error [404]
which for my understanding it shouldn't because I try to config it via the
drive (CDROM in this case).

When I try to set it via openstack, I use the "config-2" label in the CDROM
and set json file at this path:
openstack/latest/meta-data.json

at the log I am getting the line:
[CLOUDINIT] DataSourceAltCloud.py[DEBUG]: cloud_type: UNKNOWN
which indicate that its not recognize the the type (openstack).

Am I doing something wrong?
