<https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/live-boot-doc/live-boot.7.en.html> mentions "findiso" and "fromiso" as well as "live-media|bootfrom" and "live-media-path". One way is to stuff your squashfs into an ISO image (nothing else needed in there, just the subdirectory /live containing your squashfs), and use one of the iso parameters. Using the live-media*-Parameters should make it possible to use a squashfs file directly, without having to wrap it into an iso. I haven't tried this myself lately, though. Kind Regards, Stefan Baur
