Here is what you have to replace:

Code:

/dev/loop/3 on /usr/java/lib/fonts type squashfs (ro,noatime,nodiratime)

That is actually a file on the main file system.
Somewhere (in fstab or in the start-up scripting) is a command to mount that file on loop3.

You take a copy of that file -
Mount it on your work station -
Copy out the contents (as 'root' to preserve ownership and permissions) -
Change the files you want to change -
Re-create the squashfs file system with the squashfs utilities (it is a create, read, no write system) -
Put you new file (containing the new file system contents) where it will always be available (/var/local - IIRC) -
Make some scripting (NOT automated - you want to be able to rescue this thing) that will over-mount whatever is mounted on /dev/loop/3 with your new squashfs file -
restart cvm (and the framework, if restarting cvm does not do that itself).
If it bricks, re-boot, and just don't run your custom script again until you fix whatever is broken.

Note:
I don't know if your MacOS X system supports the squashfs file system -
You may have to run a Linux VM on your Mac to do the above.
