[issue1294] Permanently adjust boot parameters does not work as documented

[Sven Kieske]

New submission from Sven Kieske <S.Kieske at mittwald.de>:

Hi,

I got a question regarding the feature:
"Permanently adjust boot parameters"
as stated in the documentation at:

grml.org/config/grml-autoconfig.1.html

it says, that you are able to pass
boot parameters permanent via making
a file /bootparams/bootparams

however, I can't get this file triggered.

I did set it up with the content "scripts"
which should, according to
http://grml.org/config/grml-autoconfig.1.html

executes scripts =>   run script DCSDIR/scripts/grml.sh
The DCS directory defaults to the root directory of the GRML live image.

So I expect it to execute /scripts/grml.sh
but it doesn't.

So either the documentation is wrong, or this is an actual bug, because
the script doesn't get triggered.

I re-created the necessary iso image with grml-live and made sure the
script is marked as exectuable.

I would be happy about any advice on how to enable this feature.
Do I have to manipulate the squashfs image directly?

PS: Another Doc bug in this section:

"note: the directory is known as /live/image/bootparams/ on a running
Grml system then"

This is not correct, the directory resides under / .
There is no directory /live at all.

Furthermore this section in the docs appears twice, maybe a
copy-and-paste error.
