Awesome! thanks for the heads up... hopefully the bootparam manpage will
be updated

On newer hardware it doesn't work at all, in modern hardware (after the
mid-90s), the BIOS assigns the IO and IRQ at boot time, so you can't
reliably predict what it will be in order to pass it on the command
line. Also the arguments to ether= can vary depending on the driver
being used for the card.
On top of all that, ether= has been deprecated as of kernel 2.6.10.
You can change the device name at run time though, with ip:
ip link set eth0 name eth1
but putting HWADDR in network-scripts/ifcfg-* does this for you, and you
don't have to figure out which ones are wrong in order to change them.
Cheers,
