I would be very surprised to hear that people are using vnconfig+mount+vnconfig+mount, to add such a file. And while doing so potentially running low on space issues (it isn't just a matter of the file fitting, there must be some slop left over because the installer needs a bit of /tmp) Should everything work in every way? I'm not so sure. My truck still doesn't fly.
