[Users] Invoking guest os script, without guest having network connectivity?

[Shlomi Tsadok]

Hi Itamar

In the Wiki I see references on attaching floppy/iso as a payload. Is it
possible to trigger a bash script (with parameters), for example,  inside
the guest using this mechanism?
If so, can you please point me to some documentation?

Thank you
Shlomi
