 <p>In addition to these quirks, you should be aware of some options that <tt>install.sh</tt> supports to enable you to customize your installation in various ways. The syntax for <tt>install.sh</tt> is as follows:</p>
 
 <pre class="listing">
-install.sh [--esp | --usedefault <tt class="variable">device-file</tt>] [--nodrivers | --alldrivers] \
-           [--shim <tt class="variable">shim-filename</tt>] [--localkeys]
+install.sh [--esp | --usedefault <tt class="variable">device-file</tt> | --root <tt class="variable">mount-point</tt> ] \
+           [--nodrivers | --alldrivers] [--shim <tt class="variable">shim-filename</tt>] \
+           [--localkeys]
 </pre>
 
 <p>The details of the options are summarized in <a href="#table1">Table 1.</a> Using some of these options in unusual conditions can generate warnings and prompts to confirm your actions. In particular, using <tt>--shim</tt> or <tt>--localkeys</tt> when you're <i>not</i> booted in Secure Boot mode, or failing to use <tt>--shim</tt> when you <i>are</i> booted in Secure Boot mode, will generate a query and a request to confirm your installation. Consult the <a href="secureboot.html">Managing Secure Boot</a> page for more on this topic.</p>
