Hmm actually, I begin to think it just doesn't like booting from a
partition image directly. The fact the bootloader lists the volume
misleads into thinking it can boot...
Using the image as cdrom with a floppy image works fine.
Also, the log says ...ata/0/master/0/0_0 and 0_0 is supposed to be the
first partition, which of course doesn't exist (and thus has a size of
0...), the whole block device should have been .../raw instead. I
suppose I've been way too used to Haiku being able to boot this way.

Those images were meant to be used in a FAT or ext2 partition, not
straight away as disk images, unlike in Haiku.

I suppose it was just too obvious :^)

François.
