Not quite - try installing those packages (at least anaconda) and
looking at /usr/share/doc/anaconda-xxx/command-line.txt (where xxx is
the version). On RHEL3 (anaconda-9.1-8.RHEL) I see:

ip=<ip>         IP to use for a network installation, use 'dhcp' for DHCP.

netmask=<nm>    Netmask to use for a network installation.

gateway=<gw>    Gateway to use for a network installation.

dns=<dns>       Comma separated list of nameservers to use for a network
                installation.


If you don't have those documented in the RHEL2.1 version, the arguments
won't work. Not having used RHEL2.1, or having a copy lying around, I
can't easily check.
