I think I found a solution (at least part of it). I could just mount my 
home directory into /emul/linux/home like this:

mount_union /home/roman /emul/linux/home/roman

this effectivly mirrors my home directory in the emulated directory tree.

Still have some strange problems though, NetBeans hangs when creating 
new projects, but still better than before..

/Roman
