Users doing `bootc install to-existing-root` previously had no easy way to find the ostree deployment before rebooting in order to inject configuration files. This addresses that gap. Key changes: - Document using `ostree admin --print-current-dir` to find the newly created deployment path before rebooting - Clarify the two distinct scenarios: injecting new configuration before reboot vs. migrating old data after reboot - Add examples for both file-based configuration and kernel arguments (via `systemd.mount-extra`) - Cross-link documentation between general install docs and the to-existing-root man page - Fix typo in path structure documentation Related: bootc-dev#531 Assisted-by: Claude Code (Sonnet 4.5) Signed-off-by: Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>
