I won't argue that use of automount isn't well supported, or that it should be either, there's really only so much you can ensure.  I do force the mount to exist prior to running mondoarchive as well as specifying the location on the command line, various filesystem exclusions, etc.  This is all controlled by a Perl script that will take care of local customizations on each host here (and while it's certainly very functional... I can see opportunities for improvement.  It's very highly custom for this environment.)

I would agree that getting name resolution working in boot phase 1 (initrd processing) would certainly be a really good thing.

How can I be of assistance?  Is there a way to force include additional files into the initrd image?  It seems like contents of /etc/mindi/deplist.d/* get included in images/all.tar.gz but not in initrd.img.

><scratches head>  I see initrd.img in the root of the #1 ISO.  I also see images/all.tar.gz that would seem to be rather important.
>I've unpacked both into a temporary filesystem.  usr/sbin/mondorestore appears in images/all.tar.gz, but not in initrd.img.  I'd have to bet that images/all.tar.gz is supposed to be getting unpacked after the boot phase 1.  Unpacking both results in about 1.25gb of space, so a 4gb RAM disk should be way more than sufficient.  Unfortunately, until I get the base ramdisk issue sorted out, I'm sunk, as practically nothing is available at the Mindi command line.

Yes all.tar.gz is extracted by install-additional-tools.
Another case where an issue could araise is if the number of inodes of the FS is exceeded (lots of very small files).
Don't have other ideas for now...

Name resolution succeeds after the boot is fully complete and leaves me at a command line (expert mode.)  Name resolution *IS* failing during the boot phase 1, not sure that's entirely significant.  http:// 140.190.50.94/mondorestore-3.3.0-CentOS6-20191122-1.log

The fail of resolution in first phase is an issue for me. That should be fixed. Will reproduce and work on that.
Now I see you're using automount, and that not something MondoRescue is well supporting.
mondorestore checks that the mount point is there by looking for the ':' separator, which in your case is not found (due to the resolv issue).

Will let you know when I have a working resolv configuration so you can test as well.
