The scripts are similar, of course, although mine is written in Perl.
I've tried to make it independent of what is being installed (the script
just takes a numer of tar files or directories to update the m0n0wall
image with).
Right now, my install script only supports .iso images. Supporting other
images should not be a big problem, I just wouldn't be able to test them
(no Soekris box here).
Anyway, more info at http://www.xs4all.nl/~fredmol/m0n0

I guess perl is out of the question then :-)
And of course it wouldn't work on a generic pc that boots of a cdrom.

Yes, it's OpenSSH based (it just copies a few files from a FreeBSD with
sshd installed). Right now, it's about 1MB for the minimal installation.
