Excessive sloping matchstick substitutions in sed make my eyes water - I
find it conceptually easier to break at whitespace into separate lines:

$ busybox tr -s ' ' '\n' < /proc/cmdline | busybox grep ^ip=

One can of course remove the "busybox" wrapper in the kickstart
environment itself, although it doesn't hurt.
