CHEATCODES AND HINTS FOR GRML
==============================================================================
+*IMPORTANT NOTICE*: Some bootoptions may not work as expected (and documented) yet
+ because grml is based on a new framework named grml-live now - see
+ http://grml.org/grml-live/ for details. Please report all bootoptions
+ that do not work as expected. Thank you! http://grml.org/bugs/
+
