Derek Higgins 2c8d4b2271 Mount root filesystem readonly during boot 
If creating an image of a disto without grub2 extlinux is instead used,
extlinux was being configured to mount the root filesystem as
read/write which in turn causes e2fsck to fail to test the filesystem,
on RHEL 6.5 this causes the boot process to fail.

README.md

Sets up a partitioned disk (rather than building just one filesystem with no partition table).

By default the disk will have grub[2]-install run on it, in case GRUB2 is not available in the system a fallback to Extlinux will happen. It's also possible to enforce the use of Extlinux exporting a DIB_EXTLINUX varible to the environment.
