Semi-pilot error. I should be using the -VFAT images, which I just figured out after two hours spent trying to fix the other one. This is not documented on the wiki obviously and is a post-beta change, so it will urgently require attention as anyone following the instructions from beta will fall into the same trap (and not know how to fix it).
I've pulled down the VFAT images onto a fast remote box and confirmed with kpartx that they look better. Since it's go-no-go I will stay up now and do some testing once they come down on ES. Assume that the below is not a problem because the images do contain boot.scr and partitioning looks more reasonable in the VFAT ones. Jon.
