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.

regards
