These options are not needed any more.

I think it's possible to give a parameter to the live scripts inside
initrd to specify the network device. Let me see:

# man 7 live-initramfs (inside the nfsroot)

.
.
       ip=[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[DEVICE]:[AUTOCONF]
       [,[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[DEVICE]:[AUTOCONF]]*
           Let you specify the name(s) and the options of the interface(s)
           that should be configured at boot time. Do not specify this if you
           want to use dhcp (default). It will be changed in a future release
           to mimick official kernel boot param specification (e.g.
           ip=10.0.0.1::10.0.0.254:255.255.255.0::eth0,:::::eth1:dhcp).
