Editing boot parameters of a live installlation?
by Motte from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52C7N)
Hello everyone,
first off: I was unsure where to post this question. Hopefully I chose correctly :)
I want to use SystemRescueCD installed on a usb drive. Installlation wasn't a problem. In order to have my changes saved permanently I followed the instructions in the manual (http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/manu...backing_store/).
Now I can type in cow_level=persistence (this is how I called the additional partition on my drive) in GRUB and the changes are saved.
Having to always type in the same feels like this could be made a bit easier. So I looked at how to change boot parameters in the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_parameters) and I tried the methods both for syslinux and GRUB. Both don't work. Of course, I booted using the cow_label so my changes to the config files would be saved but it doesn't happen. What am I doing wrong?
