You should of course change the ''bootparms'' string so that it matches your requirements. Alternatively you could look into Ventoy, which is a tool to create a bootable USB drive containing multiple ISO files. Ventoy allows you to boot from any of these ISOs by automatically generating on every boot a Grub menu containing all the images found on disk. Liveslak is fully Ventoy-compatible.
