How to disable overlay-fs?

My Easybox 904xDSL with NAND-flash and ubifs starts normaly from mtd12 with ubifs ubi0_0 is the rootfs and ubi0_1 the overlayfs.
But where is it devined ?
I want to start my Router from USB stick and it works well via adding bootargs root=/dev/sda1 rootfs=f2fs ...
But it have an overlay too it is on ubi0_1 and i thing it is on mtd12 because it has 256MB only
I want to disable overlayfs

# block
block: Usage: block <info|mount|umount|detect>

This should show what is mounted
# block info

The well-documented extroot scheme is simpler than mounting a USB directly upon boot, which I think would require rebuilding the kernel.

In extroot it boots normally then almost immediately re-mounts the entire / filesystem as your external drive.

If you need a large space for music, video or other data the most common way is to keep the basic rootfs and mount the external drive as a directory.

thanks but it does not really help, i do not know how to disable /dev/ubi0_1

The answer are adding: ubi.mtd=NIX"
Reason the device try to use the MTD-partion with the label "NIX", but they do not exist.

You are right but for this reason i want to add the differen kernelparameter to uboot-config, but how ?
How can i overide the bootargs from DTS with the bootargs ?
