02. Find the offset for your ISO (see [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/270171/why-offset-specific-in-loop-mount)).
03. Using the start address and the size of the EFI partition, setup a loop device for it. This depends on the offset you found in the previous step and is specific to your ISO. Here is an example command using a specific Qubes ISO (if your ISO is different, you will have to adjust the command accordingly): `sudo losetup -o 524288 --sizelimit 30562304 /dev/loop0 Qubes-R4.0-rc4-x86_64.iso`
04. Mount the loop device `sudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt`
05. Edit `EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.cfg` to add your params to the `kernel` configuration key
06. Save your changes, unmount and dd to usb device

02. Set up a loop device (replacing `X` with your ISO's version name): `losetup -P /dev/loop0 Qubes-RX-x86_64.iso`
