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.

I do, I worked at yellowTAB for a while. :p ZETA switched to a customized version of the "IDE Replacement" stack from Thomas Kurschel at some point: http://bebits.com/app/2625 This whole FUD about ZETA not being legal has nothing to do in here. Besides, if PalmSource/Palm/ACCESS loose documents in their cupboards it's not my fault. François.
