I need to add ‘toram’ boot parameter at livecd iso. Not during boot (not  
manually). But as part of string in isolinux.cfg. How can I do it in  
SuseStudio? Custom scripts applied to the appliance, before making iso.  
So I can change boot parameters into /etc/default/grub, but can’t in  
‘/boot/x86\_64/loader/isolinux.cfg’

Or how can I modify ISO image (add parameter into isolinux.cfg manually)  
and keep ISO bootable?

I tried genisoimage, xorriso, mkisofs … and images had been unbootable  
(after I unpack-change-pack it again)

I would actually also want to know this…

I have overlay files to big for the defailt ramdisk\_size leading to boot failure of an ISO image; if you  
change the ramdisk\_size manually at boot it works but it would be nice to specify a different default.
