Sorry, but do you know how I could use it from boot args?

Also, I found rd.live.dir options. Could be used for this to mount nfs and
then setup the live image?
I try to use:
initrd=initrd0.img root=nfs:192.168.1.50:/home/frafra/iso:nfsvers=3
rootfstype=auto rd.live.dir=/LiveOS ro rd.live.image=1 rd.luks=0 rd.md=0
rd.dm=0 rdshell

...but it doesn't work. I tried to remove /dev/root manually and launch
dmsquash-live-root, and it seems to setup the image correctly, but I don't
know how to start the system and if this method could be automatized.



Thanks,
