You used to be able to add kickstart=<path> to the cmdline and livesys would run liveinst on bootup. But we've thrown up a new roadblock for f21 and turned off kickstart support in liveinst. You *may* be able to get things to work by pointing it to /run/initramfs/live/LiveOS/squashfs.img and removing the kickstart check from liveinst. Or you could make a bootable usb from a boot.iso, include the payload image on there and try to point to that. -- Brian C.
