I hooked into the master script right after z was mounted, and
kept Marios directory structure in z/etc

My hooked in script is a copy of whats in master after z is mounted.
I then call z/etc/init/profiles/unattended-nodosemu/01install

I just tried Marios Boot CD, but its stops at:
Unable to determine Boot device
I had the same problem with linuxboot, but got it working from my wrapper 
script. This is what Im looking into now
Test machine is a Dell Optiplex 745.

Yes, same problem here.
Looks like the 
"parted -s /dev/dsk mklabel msdos" is not doing what we want.
Maybe adding "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk count=1024"
before parted mklabel will cure it.

Yes, I added some of  them in busybox, but is still missing
'dialog' and busybox 'find' is a bit different.
The busybox find does not have the -L parameter

Can you post your modified 'copy_files' function?

Adding dialog to linuxboot should be doable.
Im not shure about the find thing.
