You are getting close :-)

This step uses dd to save disk geometry to
/c/netinst/partgeo.bin
is the file there? (only 4 bytes long)
check that with:
ls -l /c/netinst

partgeo.bin is not created, or writing back its content failed.
(the script is using dd for that)

There are also some more output on console 4,
check that for error messages with alt-f4

These should be ok

Not really, but I remember there was some busybox dd option(s) to turn on at 
the time around 4.7. (These dd option(s) are now in CVS)
A quick alt-f4 will tell if this is the case
So. looking back at my patches, I had one for busybox 1.6.1.
What I dont quite get with this theory: The script should have died earlier..

I have attached that patch.
Apply it as you did with the other patches, 
delete the directory unattended/linuxboot/busybox-1.6.1
do a make download 
do make iso (or tftpboot)
