-live\-boot is a hook for the initramfs\-tools, used to generate a initramfs capable to boot live systems, such as those created by \fIlive\-helper\fR(7). This includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images.

-At boot time it will look for a (read\-only) media containing a "/live" directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using aufs, for Debian like systems to boot from.

.SH CONFIGURATION
.br
You may also use the live iso image in place of the squashfs image.
.IP "\fBiscsi\fR=\fIserver-ip[,server-port];target-name\fR" 4
-Boot from an iSCSI target that has an iso or disk live image as one of its LUNs. The specified target is searched for a LUN which looks like a live media. If you use the \fBiscsitarget\fR software iSCSI target solution which is packaged in Debian your ietd.conf might look like this:

# The target-name you specify in the iscsi= parameter

Do not check that any UUID embedded in the initramfs matches the discovered medium. live\-boot may be told to generate a UUID by setting LIVE_GENERATE_UUID=1 when building the initramfs.
.IP "\fBverify\-checksums\fR" 4
If specified, an MD5 sum is calculated on the live media during boot and compared to the value found in md5sum.txt found in the root directory of the live media.
-.IP "\fBip\fR=[\fIDEVICE\fR]:[\fICLIENT_IP\fR]:[\fISERVER_IP\fR]:[\fIGATEWAY_IP\fR]:[\fINETMASK\fR]:[\fIHOSTNAME\fR]:[\fIAUTOCONF\fR] [,[\fIDEVICE\fR]:[\fICLIENT_IP\fR]:[\fISERVER_IP\fR]:[\fIGATEWAY_IP\fR]:[\fINETMASK\fR]:[\fIHOSTNAME\fR]:[\fIAUTOCONF\fR]]" 4
+.IP "\fBip\fR=[\fIDEVICE\fR]:[\fICLIENT_IP\fR]:[\fINETMASK\fR]:[\fIGATEWAY_IP\fR]:[\fINAMESERVER\fR] [,[\fIDEVICE\fR]:[\fICLIENT_IP\fR]:[\fINETMASK\fR]:[\fIGATEWAY_IP\fR]:[\fINAMESERVER\fR]]" 4
Let you specify the name(s) and the options of the interface(s) that should be configured at boot time. Do not specify this if you want to use dhcp (default). It will be changed in a future release to mimick official kernel boot param specification (e.g. ip=10.0.0.1::10.0.0.254:255.255.255.0::eth0,:::::eth1:dhcp).
.IP "\fBip\fR=[\fIfrommedia\fR]" 4
If this variable is set, dhcp and static configuration are just skipped and the system will use the (must be) media\-preconfigured /etc/network/interfaces instead.
.IP "{\fBlive\-media\-encryption\fR|\fBencryption\fR}=\fITYPE\fI" 4
live\-boot will mount the encrypted rootfs TYPE, asking the passphrase, useful to build paranoid live systems :\-). TYPE supported so far are "aes" for loop\-aes encryption type.
.IP "\fBlive\-media\-offset\fR=\fIBYTES\fR" 4
-This way you could tell live\-boot that your image starts at offset BYTES in the above specified or autodiscovered device, this could be useful to hide the Debian Live iso or image inside another iso or image, to create "clean" images.

.IP "\fBlive\-media\-path\fR=\fIPATH\fR" 4
Sets the path to the live filesystem on the medium. By default, it is set to '/live' and you should not change that unless you have customized your media accordingly.
.IP "\fBlive\-media\-timeout\fR=\fISECONDS\fI" 4
This parameter disables the default disabling of filesystem checks in /etc/fstab. If you have static filesystems on your harddisk and you want them to be checked at boot time, use this parameter, otherwise they are skipped.
.IP "\fBnopersistence\fR" 4
disables the "persistence" feature, useful if the bootloader (like syslinux) has been installed with persistence enabled.
-.IP "\fBnoprompt\fR" 4
-Do not prompt to eject the CD or remove the USB flash drive on reboot.
-.IP "\fBnoprompt\fR=\fITYPE\fR" 4
-This tells live-boot not to prompt to eject the CD (when noprompt=cd) or remove the USB flash drive (when noprompt=usb) on reboot.
+.IP "\fBnoeject\fR" 4
+Do not prompt to eject the live medium.
.IP "\fBramdisk\-size\fR" 4
This parameters allows to set a custom ramdisk size (it's the '\-o size' option of tmpfs mount). By default, there is no ramdisk size set, so the default of mount applies (currently 50% of available RAM). Note that this option has no currently no effect when booting with toram.
.IP "\fBswapon\fR" 4
Filesystem changes are not saved back to persistence media. In particular, overlays and netboot NFS mounts are mounted read-only.
.IP "\fBpersistence\-storage\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\fR" 4
This option determines which types of persistence storage to consider when probing for persistence media. If "filesystem" is in the list, filesystems with matching labels will be used; if "file" is in the list, all filesystems will be probed for archives and image files with matching filenames. The default is "file,filesystem".
-.IP "\fBpersistence\-subtext\fR=\fISUFFIX\fR" 4
-Add a suffix when searching for the image filenames or partition labels to use for the above mentioned persistence feature, the SUFFIX will be added after a dash (e.g.: "live-sn" would transform to "live-sn-SUFFIX"). This is handy to test multiple live-boot based live-systems with different persistence storage choices.
-.IP "\fBquickreboot\fR" 4
+.IP "\fBpersistence\-label\fR=\fILABEL\fR" 4
+live-boot will use the name "LABEL" instead of "persistence" when searching for persistent storage. LABEL can be any valid filename, partition label, or GPT name.
+.IP "\fBnoeject\fR" 4
This option causes live\-boot to reboot without attempting to eject the media and without asking the user to remove the boot media.
.IP "\fBshowmounts\fR" 4
This parameter will make live\-boot to show on "/" the ro filesystems (mostly compressed) on "/lib/live". This is not enabled by default because could lead to problems by applications like "mono" which store binary paths on installation.
