1.

looks like api RSDL parameter documentation issue, it should be --vm-os-initrd
and not --vm-os-initRd, please file bug on this.

2. ip/gateway are not valid options for the --vm-os-boot, see help you have attached,
it's:

     [--vm-os-boot: collection]
       {
         [boot.dev: string]
       }
