Hi @mozzy I trust you got a solution to this, however, this post popped up in my searches when I encountered the same issue trying to build a CentOS box. I therefore put together the solution in this repository, I hope it helps someone out there.

Otherwise, to tailor the solution to your exact needs, you may just add the BAHMNI specific entries to the CentOS-7-x64.json which is the template file. More specific instructions in the repository README.

Regards.
