        ^TOP^
  •  ----------------------------------------
    label Clonezilla Live
    MENU LABEL Clonezilla Live
    MENU DEFAULT
    kernel vmlinuz1
    append initrd=initrd1.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=tftp://192.168.120.254/filesystem.squashfs usercrypted=bkuQxLqLRuDW6 ocs_numlk="on" ocs_daemonon="ssh"
    ----------------------------------------
    The usercrypted password is created by:
    echo YOUR_PASSWORD | mkpasswd -s
    ("mkpasswd" is from package "whois" in Debian or Ubuntu. Check your GNU/Linux to see which package provides this command if you are not using Debian or Ubuntu. Replace YOUR_PASSWORD with your plain text password, and remember do not put any " in the boot parameters of live-initramfs (while it's ok for those ocs_* boot parameters), i.e. do NOT use something like usercrypted="bkuQxLqLRuDW6").
    If you prefer sha-256 instead of md5 method, you can generate the password like:
    echo YOUR_PASSWD | mkpasswd -m sha-256 -s
    Or sha-512:
    echo YOUR_PASSWD | mkpasswd -m sha-512 -s
    //NOTE// If you do not assign salt to mkpasswd, the encrypted password will not be the same every time you create it.

    For more boot parameters, please refer to this doc.
