It's genkernel that looks for it, so you'd need to change
genkernel.
That being said, such an identifier can not have anything
variable in it
if you expect genkernel to find it.

That's what I was afraid of.

But since you have a boot option called nox (no X), and the
boot options are 
specified by catalyst, perhaps it's possible for catalyst to
write a boot 
option on the build, saying the livecd signature/version and
genkernel would 
read it and look properly. Lol, it's not important, but an
idea for someone 
to pick later?

Btw, I'm writting new docs before I forget
