I fully understand that you hesitate. However, if the "client OS" uses devtmpfs neither UYOK nor the standard kernel will work without manually editing the image.master script because /etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.conf will have <beol devstyle="static"/> (which is completely wrong). As a consequnce, imager.master won't get a "mount /dev /a/dev -o bin " line. Thus, /a/dev is not populated and systemconfigurator won't find the harddisk to initialize grub, etc. Thus, I highly would appreciate any fix that "recognizes" devtmpfs and maks the image.master script mount /a/dev. Or at least a big warning in the documentation that this line has be added manually. A more general alternative might be adding testing code to image.master to see if /a/dev looks reasonable populated OR mount /a/dev if not.
