I am trying to boot a grub entry for CentOS 8

When booting it says that "ip=192.168.1.3" Sorry unknown value.
This works on CentOS 7. How do I specify the IP/SN/GW for CentOS kernel line?
That method was listed as deprecated in EL-7 and I think the method you need to use now is http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/dracut.cmdline.7.html
ip=192.168.1.13::192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0:hostname.goes.here:eth0:on:1500:<mac-address-of-eth0>
If MAC address is mandatory here, it becomes extra hassle compared to kickstart build I was using until now...
The mac address isn't mandatory but you are then up to the whims of the kernel, dracut, and whatever else is involved on what gets picked for eth0. It works less often than it used to for me so I would end up on a very very long rant tag.
(Is <rant> tag due above ? ;-)

I am going to guess that should work, but I have not had much luck with ethX interfaces with dracut
Thanks,
