Now insert below all lines into this file.
#!/bin/bash wget https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/6.44.6/chr-6.44.6.img.zip -O chr.img.zip && \ gunzip -c chr.img.zip > chr.img && \ mount -o loop,offset=512 chr.img /mnt && \ ADDRESS=`ip addr show eth1 | grep global | cut -d' ' -f 6 | head -n 1` && \ GATEWAY=`ip route list | grep default | cut -d' ' -f 3` && \ echo "/ip address add address=$ADDRESS interface=[/interface ethernet find where name=ether1] /ip route add gateway=$GATEWAY /ip service disable telnet /user set 0 name=root password=xxxxxx " > /mnt/rw/autorun.scr && \ umount /mnt && \ echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger && \ dd if=chr.img bs=1024 of=/dev/xvda && \ echo "sync disk" && \ echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger && \ echo "Sleep 5 seconds" && \ sleep 5 && \ echo "Ok, reboot" && \ echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
