It seems I lied when I said I could edit changes to rc.conf on a USB flash 
stick. I thought I had successfully done this but I just tried again without 
success.
 
I tried reformatting the drive from scratch (using genkd and then rebooting as 
described on 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=AstLinux%20Users%20Guide%20Chapter%202
 and on http://www.voipplanet.com/backgrounders/article.php/3646976).
 
If I go to /mnt/kd using the web interface I see the error message

Warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for /mnt/kd/asterisk (errno=40 - Too many levels 
of symbolic links) in /stat/var/www/admin/dirphp_class.php on line 115

...and I can't find rc.conf anywhere (is it supposed to be in the root or in 
/etc?).

This is what I see in the root of the keydisk:
astdb           crontabs        lost+found      ssh
asterisk        dnsmasq.leases  monitor         tftpboot
cdr-csv         home            voicemail

If I edit rc.conf in /etc using the web interface (e.g. to uncomment INTIF) the 
changes don't persist past a reboot. (Yes, I did remember to make the 
filesystem read/write first, then save changes and reboot.) I tried with and 
without doing a "reload". I tried with and without the keydisk mounted. I tried 
using nano from the terminal instead of the web interface. I tried power 
cycling instead of rebooting. I tried reformatting the flash drive and the CF 
card. I searched the mailing list archive for a previous mention of this 
without success.

Every reboot takes a few mins, so this has all taken hours. Please tell me it 
gets easier than this eventually! I'm trying not to bother you all with dumb 
questions (after the flaming I got from my initial ones!) but it would really 
be much easier if there was some documentation around somewhere.

I'm off to try an earlier version of asterisk because I'm sure I had this 
working at one stage and I was using a different version initially.
