Any reason not to stuff it under the top flap?  Do you have a top flap?

I can think of a number of ways to attach it.  You could put it in a 
stuff sack
that has a strap on the end, and then attach the stuffsack to the frame.
You could duct tape it to the frame, but that would make filling it 
awkward.
You could duct tape around it and form a couple of loops out of the duct
tape, and then use carabiners to attach it to your frame.

The possibilities are endless.
