Such a mistake sounds very familiar :-)

I see you have sshd_password there, great. I've had a few times where 
that feature was sorely missing (when remotely netbooting a machine with 
finnix).

I tried adding "sshd sshd_password" to the normal bootline, but still a 
random password is chosen. So, I figured out that it should be called 
as "sshd sshd_password=secret", where secret is your password, 
obviously. I've updated the wiki, hope the info is valid.
