so there is no way to that.  The behavior present (which seems sufficient
in most cases) is to copy any params from the booted kernel that come
after a '--'.  If there is no '--', it will copy off 'console=' parameters
also.

Is there a reason you'd boot the installer with one set of parameters but
need additional ones for the installed system? I'm sure there are some,
but generally think that using the same set in both cases would work
right.

all that said, it can be added as a feature to curtin.
