Could some familiar with systemVM creation comment on this advice...

Hi Nux!,

I would break this into three tasks.

1.  Login to an existing SSVM, and figure out what changes to the mount command 
you need to make.  Once you have the parameters to your liking, change the 
mount script the SSVM is using.  Reboot, if everything operates as expected, go 
on to the next step.

2.  Look for the script you changed in the source tree.  Update this, and go on 
to the next step.

3.  Roll a new SSVM template using the SystemVM build process.  This I don't 
understand, and let me explain why:

I can't tell if there is a single or multiple mvn projects to do systemvm 
creation.  There seem to be two ways to create the base OS:  a VeeWee-based 
systemflow and a script-based workflow (buildsystemvm.sh).  They seem to sit in 
different folders.  

Also, I don't understand how the base image is customized.  There seems to be a 
mechanism that attach rolls changes into an ISO that is attached to the 
systemVM and installed using a copy.  However, its unclear whether this is 
*the* script install mechanism or merely an upgrade mechanism.
