Booting related options:
grml bootfrom=/dev/sda1 Use the squashfs file from directory 'live' of the specified device
Setup can be done booting 'grml tohd=/dev/sda1' or
running 'rsync -a --progress /live/image/live /mnt/sda1/'
+grml bootfrom=removable Restrict search for the live media to removable type only.
+grml bootfrom=removable-usb Restrict search for the live media to usb mass storage only.
grml isofrom=/dev/sda1/grml.iso Use specified ISO image for booting
Useful when booting as a rescue system from harddisk - just boot
the according grml kernel and initrd using the bootoptions
"boot=live isofrom=/dev/sda1/grml.iso"
Notice: "fromiso" does the same as "isofrom", it's just there
to prevent any typing errors
-grml findiso=/grml_2009.05.iso Look for the specified ISO file on all disks where it usually
+grml findiso=/grml_2009.10.iso Look for the specified ISO file on all disks where it usually
looks for the .squashfs file (so you don't have to know the device name
- as in isofrom=....). [Available since grml 2009.05]
+ as in isofrom=....). [Available since Grml 2009.05]
grml live-media-path=live Sets the path to the live filesystem on the medium
By default, it is set to /live
grml module=grml Instead of using the default "$name.module" another file can
on "/live" directory of the live medium

+grml bootid=mybootid Use specified argument as identifier for the ISO.
