inird option has nothing to do with MAC address. MAC address is read by
ebony.c directly from OpenBIOS VPD area (see ebony.c::ebony_setup_arch())
regardless whether initrd is enabled or not.

Probably, you have erased this area on your box.

You can hard code MAC address into ebony.c to see whether this helps you do go
further in boot process.
