Tweaking the kernel cmd line is only easier if you are booting from
floppy. I you do not have control over your dhcp or bootp service, you
can't tweak the kernel command line. Normally a sysadmin should use
his/her dhcp or bootp server to supply theses parameters. If you
can't, it better to write a litte hook with prefix .source. This way
you do need to change the fai scripts itself and after an upgrade to a
new fai version, your installation will not be broken.

So again. Alway try to use hooks for your customization!
