Only parameters of the form foo=bar will be set as environment variables (if not
recognized by the kernel).
AFAIK Red Hat scripts grab parameters of different form from /proc/cmdline.
But parameter of the form network=dhcp will be set as environment variable and
this is IMHO the easiest way how to get the parameter value in startup scripts.
