Looking at the bare metal installer variables listing, I attempted to use the HEREDOC syntax for specifying these file contents inline.
It doesn't seem to function as you would expect, as it interpolates any file with a / in it, as a suspected comment. Additionally, if you omit the " it also complains about the heredoc syntax. The only way I was able to get the file contents to read inline is to take the squashed output from the tectonic-installer, where it combines everything into an escaped single-line w/ encoded newlines.
Could someone take a look at this and see about updating the docs to have a proper solution for end-users trying to plug in matchbox certs?
