Tails OS - Modifying boot options
Chainload the ISO's bootloader using syslinux
, then you can add all the extra parameters you need. Use the actual contents of the syslinux
directory in the ISO as a base.
There are many examples online. Check this one.
There's actually another way to do it by remounting the live disk as writable
mount -o remount -w /lib/live/mount/medium
and then editing the live config file corresponding to your architecture (either live.cfg
, live486.cfg
or liveamd64.cfg
) under /lib/live/mount/medium/syslinux

This path is incorrect for Tails. Actually I believe that the actual config files are here
/lib/live/mount/medium/EFI/BOOT
which I have changed live.cfg
and live64.cfg
and this works. Re-boot and inspect the config file and see your changes.
