📄 Description

Related to #1441

Adds a new menu entry to the System Rescue CD Tools menu in roles/netbootxyz/templates/menu/systemrescue.ipxe.j2 to enable setting the 'rootpass' boot parameter to the device's MAC address.

New Menu Entry: Introduces an option labeled "Enable rootpass=MAC_ADDRESS" that allows users to set the 'rootpass' boot parameter to their device's MAC address for easier access.
Toggle Functionality: Implements a toggle mechanism that enables or disables the 'rootpass' parameter based on the user's selection from the menu. This is achieved through a conditional check that sets or unsets the rootpass_enabled flag and the params variable accordingly.
Dynamic Parameter Setting: Modifies the boot command to dynamically include the rootpass parameter with the MAC address value when the option is enabled by the user.
