Change kernel boot parameters

Because we're using UEFI, ros config syslinux won't work for editing kernel boot parameters. Use this instead:

$ sudo system-docker run --rm --privileged -it -v /:/host alpine /bin/sh
# inside the alpine container:
$ mkdir -p /mnt/boot; mount /host/dev/vda1 /mnt/boot
$ vi /mnt/boot/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg
$ umount /host/dev/vda1
# exit the container and reboot rancheros
