Not like this.  This is why I said before this is "awkward in
guestfish".  TBH you're best off continuing with the Python program.
If you absolutely must use guestfish (which I don't recommend for this
case) then:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash -

guestfish <<'EOF'

add /dev/null readonly:true

# RHEL 6 hack for adding Ceph drives:

config -set drive.hd0.file=rbd:ssd-clonetest-rule5/ubuntu-12.04--1.raw.img

run

inspect-os | head -1 > /tmp/root
<! echo inspect-get-distro `cat /tmp/root`

EOF
----------------------------------------------------------------------
