I haven't worked with ISO images + Buildroot, so I don't really have
any comments.

I think Buildroot is used most often on headless systems.

I thought that I would just need to put my .configs into source control, but it looks like I need to change the inittab file in the skeleton. How do other people handle configuration changes that aren't covered by any of the .configs (or the various make menuconfigs)?
I personally use git branches.
For your .config file: make savedefconfig && cp defconfig
configs/myconfig_defconfig
Now Buildroot will list your config file when "make help" and load the
configuration when "make myconfig_defconfig".
