small linux build advanceCD combined with rw partition



Hi,
I want to build a arcade cabinet, running advanceCD which is a small
linux build on CD. Ofcourse all the partitions on this build are
readonly (like a liveCD is)
There is an option to install this build to hard disk but the
partition stays read only.
The system allows the inclusion of a shell script which runs at boot
time. In this script it would be possible to do a "mount" of a fat32
partition as read/write.
However I don't know how this script should look like.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks
.
