debian-cd changes attached. The bootscript contained is a placeholder for the final version, but it should work once USB support is in place and the boot device is the only USB drive.

partman-auto task opened, and branch attached. Dove requires a separate /boot partition for u-boot to read from. This branch sets the min. size of the /boot partition to 128MiB, and the max to 256MiB.

flash_kernel patch, not fully tested ATM, but the userland bit is known to work with tweaked u-boot

It seems odd to me to compute the UUID at install time instead of at flash-kernel run time.

I dont understand why you change the return 0 to return -1 in write_to_flash; it looks bogus to me.

Also you might want to handle separate /boot partition or not like in "HP Media Vault mv2120".

Revisied flash-kernel patch with proper escaping. Used to create proper boot.scr in ubiquity installed system as a test, and then booted the result.
