you can do the same as I told you for the inittab

The network configuration file (that is edited by uci with those 
commands, or by luci web interface and you can also edit manually with 
Vi or nano editors) is
/etc/config/network in the OpenWrt system

so just set a VM the way you like, copy this file contents and place a 
/files/etc/config/network in the base directory of the build system.
This will override the default settings with your own.

You can do the same for any other configuration you are changing with 
uci or Luci as it is just editing a file in /etc/config in the OpenWrt 
system.

I'm not sure about what you mean by "zones" but if you mean firewall 
zones it's in /etc/config/firewall
