This happened to me too. 

The NIC doesn't come "up" on the first boot, even though it was initiated during the setup. DHCP or static makes no difference to this situation. iirc I used nmtui to bring the interface up and verify the hostname.  Can't do it in cockpit without the interface being up...

Once you're in the engine you can initialize and add the rest of the required nics.

I'm not sure if this is as designed or a bug, but it last happened to me on 4.2.5, and was the same process on my 3 hosts.

how did you setup the static ip? did you use Cockpit?

what do you mean by 'network is not configured'? the static IP is not
assigned to your selected NIC or sth else?
