First of all please **trim** you postings and quote **only relevant**
text. Most email clients thread the messages and there is no
necessity to repeat what has already been said.
To your query.

create a "master" image that you can install in appliances Right?
If so, what is the media in these appliances (DOM, CF cards, etc.)?
The following steps should help:
1. Install VL on to the media that goes into the appliance.
2. Install your application on top of the base VL distro.
3. Verify that it works fine.
4. Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to remove
the eth0 device.
NOTE: There is no change in GRUB menu.lst.
Congratulations - you now have a master image.
5. Shutdown the system.
6. Remove the installed media.
7. Copy the master image from the "installed" media device to an
"image" file to your deskto --
dd if=/dev/<installed_media_device> of=mymodvl.master.img
8. You can install from the "master" image file to a block device any
number of times --
dd if=mymodvl.master.img of=<replicate_media>
9. Install the replicated media in the appliance and boot. udev will
create an eth0 entry in the file 70-persistent-net.rules. It should
get an IP by DHCP if indeed eth0 is configured for DHCP.
Let us know if this what you were trying to achieve.
