Ah! I hadn't understood that you were doing that. You cannot do such thing with logical partitions: the dd call will wipe the first sector which contains the logical partition chain cell. You have to use a primary partition to be able to wipe out the first sector. Alternately, since isofs doesn't actually use the first sectors, you can skip one and seek one, to avoid wiping the logical partition chain cell. > * Installer asks for drivers, choose to manually select the drive. > * Then I change to TTY2, cd /dev and ./MAKEDEV hd0s6 > This last step was not necessary in QEMU, that is why I was asking.

Which is not surprising to me, see above. Samuel
