Hi,
I've got grml booting off a usb memory stick as per these instructions: http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb
I want to change the default boot options, so I added a bootparams/params text file at the root of the memory stick with 'toram ssh=foo nodhcp'. The file seems to be ignored though; it just boots normally with no options added.
Could someone tell me what I'm missing?

Great. Which version are you talking about?

Ah, it *might* be that it does not work if you are using grml 1.1-rc*/grml64 0.2-rc*/grml[64]-medium 0.1-rc*, see http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue414
But when booting from USB that's easy to fix: just edit the APPEND lines of boot/isolinux/syslinux.cfg on your usb stick, that's it. :)

Yep, I tried 1.1-rc1 full and medium.

That did the trick. Specifically the APPEND line under 'LABEL grml' (changing the one under 'DEFAULT grml' seemed to have no effect).
Thanks for the quick response. Looking forward to the 1.1 release!
