My experience on redhat 9.0 (think same for other distrib): 
many times set high size for tmps in kernel parameters is not sufficient.
If the whole image is bigger than swap+memory then you get a lack of disk
space error message. You must create a swap partition (i setted it in master
script). 
Mind that you can't create a swap larger than 2G, so, if the image is still
bigger, you have to create more swap partitions (and activate them).

Unfortunately, due to a problem with udpcast (or udpcast + kernel combo), 
it was necessary to _always_ use tmpfs with multicast that version of
SystemImager.  

I'm hoping to change that chunk of code back (tmpfs is optional) with a
new version of udpcast and a our new kernel.

If tmpfs is getting full, and you must use multicast, see the FAQ for
tmpfs options.  You may want to explicitly set the size of your tmpfs
filesystem.  The FAQ section of the SystemImager manual will explain 
this, and give you all the tmpfs options you can use, and how to use 
them.

Cheers, -Brian
