I customized the netstg2.img, inserting my own script called 'anaconda'. /sbin/loader invokes /usr/bin/anaconda when bootstrapping begins (after loading some drivers and chewing on some of /proc/cmdline); I put a script in this stage which does what I want, then I have it exec the real anaconda script once it's done running. I suppose it's a little dodgy, but it was the way to get what I wanted accomplished. It should be possible to insert such a mechanism in any of the boot images (hdstg2.img, netstg2.img, etc.). If you want more detail, email me off list, or point me at a Wiki and I'll be happy to fill you in! hth, Klaus
