my-sys is needed in order to install a working MBR that passes control
to the partition boot record.
For unattended batch mode, yeou need to specify the overlay mode (-m)
and overlay size (-p) and also add -f in order to skip the "really
format" questions.

I used the script to mass-create Knoppix USB sticks with a 10 port USB3 hub:
cd /mnt-system
for i in b c d e f g h i j k; do flash-knoppix -m p -p 3000 -f /dev/sd$i; done
Maybe, the script broke in your mailer when saving it in "DOS mode" (vi
would tell you it's a binary file with added ^M characters at the end of
each line, which is very bad for shell scripts). I should have sent it
as tar.gz instead. However, it's already released on Knoppix 7.4.1 which
should have hit the mirrors now (release notes still pending).
