The answer seems to be to insert the knoppix.sh script into the minirt.gz. Then it executes just fine. I do not see that step anywhere in the various instructions, though.

I am remastering 5.1.1 to a USB drive so that it boots into text mode (via inittab), has a custom boot graphic and message, and has a password for ssh access; those changes work just fine.
However, trying to mount a second partition and start sshd on boot (/usr/sbin/sshstart) fails. I have tried several suggestions from this and other forums. A shell script (/start) that does this works manually. Adding a line to /etc/rc.local (which exists) to call this script (/start) doesn't make it execute on boot. Adding a cron job with @reboot and specifying the script (/start) doesn't work. Copying the script itself to KNOPPIX/linux.sh or to /etc/init.d/local.sh doesn't work.
Is this something you have to do in minitrt.gz? Other suggestions?

As you're starting at init 2 (text mode)
add another start script for your commands at /etc/rc2.d/
Call is S99start_ssh
or similar and change its permissions to be executable.
Hopefully this should work.
That finally did the trick. None of the other attempts were completely successful, apparently because not enough of the system initialization had occurred (linuxrc, knoppix.sh, rc.local. isolinux.cfg). I was surprised because rc.local didn't work, but adding a link rc2.d and rc3.d to a script in init.d worked just fine. I can mount a partition and reconfigure the nic as needed. Thanks for the help!
