I'm not an expert, but I'd try hacking /usr/src/miniroot/install.sh. If
you cut out the disk stuff (or just provide a /etc/fstab before starting
the install), you should end up with something that does what you want.
Of course, you'll need to copy the install disk, chroot, and start the
install.
I'm not aware of a more automated procedure, sadly. Of course, you could
install it on a spare box/qemu instance and use tar or similar to copy
everything.
