📄 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 toggle the 'rootpass' parameter to the MAC address of the device.
Conditional Logic: Implements conditional logic to enable or disable the 'rootpass' parameter based on the user's selection from the new menu entry.
Parameter Passing: Modifies the boot command to include the 'rootpass' parameter when enabled, ensuring the root password is set to the device's MAC address for easier access.
