+dhcpwait=<numseconds> => Maximum wait time for the DHCP client to
+ configure a network interface (default: 20 seconds).

+nfsroot=ip.ad.dr.ess:/path/to/liveslak => defines the IP address
+ of the NFS server, and the path to the extracted content
+ of Slackware Live Edition.
+
+nic=<driver>:<interface>:<dhcp|static>[:ipaddr:netmask[:gateway]]
+ => network device customization, usually this parameter is
+ not needed when your network runs a DHCP server.
+ Specify a driver if UDEV does not detect the device. Specify the
+ interface if Slackware Live can not figure it out. If you specify
+ 'static' you need to also specify ipaddr and netmask. The gateway
+ is optional but needed to access the internet for instance.
