1) net.eth1 problem

There is a udev hook for starting net.* init scripts, 
/lib/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules to be precise


2) Openrc problem
I'm asuming here the openrc problems are from a recent upgrade you have 
done and not inslalled the the runlevels required sadly they are not 
done automatically. Have a look in /usr/share/openrc/runlevels these are 
needed for openrc to work copy any that don't exist in /etc/runlevels 
most important are sysinit and shutdown, boot and default are likey to 
be fine
