I need to do a very atypical install.
It needs exactly one parameter to be pre-seeded.
I wish to set it at the boot prompt.

An overview is given at
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/i386/apbs02.en.html#preseed-auto
which in turn leads to
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/i386/ch05s01.en.html#boot-screen
which says in part:
If you wish or need to add any boot parameters for either the installer
or the kernel, press Tab (BIOS boot), or e then down arrow three times
then end (UEFI boot). This will bring the boot command for the selected
menu entry and allow you to edit it to suit your needs.

However I can find no examples of what that line would look like after entering the pre-seeded parameter. The value I wish to use is:
d-i base-installer/install-recommends boolean false

Yes, I know that is not recommended. A beneficial side effect of my project will a example of why ;/

TIA
