/dev/sda1 for USB-stick/first SCSI-device
+grml autoconfig=SOMELABEL Set the DCS dir to the root of the device labeled with SOMELABEL.
+ If undefined search for a device labeled with GRMLCFG.
grml netconfig=server/config.tbz Download file and extract configuration archive
grml netscript=server/file Download and execute file
grml partconf=/dev/sda2 Copy files specified in /etc/grml/partconf from /dev/sda2
(/cdrom/desktop/"$DISTRI") it will be taken as wallpaper for grml
grml debnet Search through local partitions for file /etc/network/interfaces,
copy /etc/network to local system and restart networking then
+grml dns=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 Set DNS resolvers during boot and for live system.
