[syslinux] mount USB squashFS

[slash woot]

Thanks Gregory!
Setting root=/dev/disk/by-label/Physix-Project as you mentioned does
mount the usb at /sysroot.

Now I think I just need to tweak systemd switch-root unit to perform a
pre-mount
of live/filesystem.squash. Unless there is a better way?

regards,
Tree
