Ok, I got a few responses, none of them the wonderful magic fix that I
wanted though :)
Basically there are 3 ways:
1) use unnamed for the partition, so it dosn't create a filesystem, and
then append the line to the vfstab in the finish script.
2) Copy the files you need elsewhere in the begin script, and then put
them back in the finish
3) Derive a profile on the machine depending on if the partition exists
I think I like 3 the best, but 1 might be the easiest. I'll post
implemented solution with scripts if I do anything interesting with this.
Thanks to Matthew Stier, Roy S. Rapoport, Grant Miller, Darren Dunham,
and the system administration account.
