+"live-boot will probe filesystems for persistent media. These can either be "
+"the filesystems themselves, if labeled correctly, or image/archive files, if "
+"named correctly. Overlays are labeled/named either \"live-rw\" or \"home-rw"
+"\" and will be mounted on / or /home, respectively; snapshots are labeled/"
+"named either \"live-sn\" or \"home-sn\" and will be extracted into / or /"
+"home, respectively (see live-snapshot(1) for more information). Overlays are "
+"mounted before snapshots are extracted, and for both overlays and snapshots, "
+"\"live-*\" are handled before \"home-*\". Overlay image files and snapshot "
+"archive files have extensions which determines their filesystem or archive "
