BOOTIF is a pxelinux boot parameter. It is supported by the Debian
initramfs when pxe booting, but it is not supported by the Debian
installer.

Perhaps it should be. In the meantime, you can use the documented
preseeding interface of booting with interface=eth1. I don't think
netcfg allows specifying a interface by MAC though.
