Thanks for the instructions! I have a lot to learn about bridged networking, and my problem doing this shows it.
I have followed the instructions on the wiki, creating an ifcfg-peth0 and changing ifcfg-etho to the specified content. When I restart the network, I get
Device peth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [FAILED] followed by Device eth0 already exists; can't create bridge with the same name [FAILED]
Any suggestions about how I've failed to do this properly?

Sounds like your network config files are probably incorrect somehow, but it's hard to say. Could you paste both and let us look at them?
For Fedora, I also put NM_CONTROLLED=no in each of them now to make sure Network Manager doesn't try to manage them, and/or end up disabling Network Manager.
(I've also noted if the scripts aren't named ifcfg.*[d]*, the service script won't always start them, but you wouldn't have that problem with the above names).
