Previously, the boot action for live images was totally determined
by the LABEL value in the boot parameters (/proc/cmdline).

This behavior is not very convenient for users. The user may just want
to drop to a shell for troubleshooting the live image, or the user may
want to try to install the live image while the LABEL value is 'boot'.

We should provide the users a chance to choose the boot action when
the live image starts up.
I am not entirely clear on why this is needed, the LABEL kernel cmdline
parameter is set up by syslinux, and its value can be specified by the
user from the syslinux prompt. If what you want is a more user friendly
menu, then I think the correct solution would be to tweak the syslinux
config, rather than to create a duplicate boot menu in the init script.

I agree.
Thanks for providing this info.
