Wow! So the reason I am working so hard on this is that I am writing something up for https://www.linuxaccess.org. It sounds like GRML is even easier for blind sys admins than I realized.
Well, you have made at least one more day of work for me but thanks!

Hi,
glad you managed to get it working.
There are multiple ways to get an ISO with custom boot options, to make this easier for you. What should be the easiest option to enable SSH by default, is using grml2iso from grml2usb like that:
grml2iso -b ssh=password -o grml_john.iso grml-small-2024.12-amd64.iso
The resulting grml_john.iso then automatically uses the "ssh=password" boot option.

I got it to work. I used my iphone with an app called SeeingAI to read the screen to me. So then I knew when the boot menu came up. After only a couple of attempts, i found that if I hit the tab key, then typed 'ssh=password', it worked.
I think the problem I was having was probably not starting to type at the right time -- either too early or too late. I wasn't really sure if i had to press tab and then type or just type. So not knowing exactly when to type and not knowing exactly what to type, I couldn't get it to work. But once I figured it out, it works fine.
