OK I haven’t convinced you as yet but I’ll work on it.  Is there an alternate 
way for me to get json.cfg into the kernel?  Maybe going back to compiling it 
in would be the best solution - that worked pretty well.  It’s just far too 
time consuming and hard to be trying to get the kernel to mount an ext2 volume 
in EC2 HVM to get the network configured - I’m burning days that I don’t have 
just trying to read json.cfg and I still haven’t made it work.  I’m completely 
blind as to what is going on when the rump kernel boots because at the moment 
it appears that HVM doesn’t write to the console/system log in the same way as 
paravirtual hosts do on EC2 (i.e. not at all) so until I solve that I can’t 
even see what’s going wrong in the process of trying to get the kernel to find 
the disk to get its json.cfg from.  So I’m trying to diagnose without even 
being able to get control of the configuration of the disk and network. 
Basically just guessing and deducing. Ugh.

I’m making progress getting things running on EC2 HVM but life would be 
dramatically easier if I could compile in the json.cfg or get it in some other 
way rather than loading it from disk. I’m begging ya! :-)

thanks
