Hello there
I'm on Manjaro Linux and I'm currently trying to install Porteus on a VM so I can mess around... the thing is, I have no problem whatsoever installing it and completing boot on a VirtualBox VM (uses /dev/sda1), but I prefer Virt-Manager QEMU which uses /dev/vda1 but even the installation process recognises vda1 and completes the process ok, then booting fails finding or after (?) porteus config file (see screenshots below). It still fails even after I add cheat code to use vda1
It loads vmlinuz ok, it loads initrd.xz ok, but then searches for porteus config file and shows "device not ready yet?"... (see anim gif below)
Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong? If so, can anyone tell me how to correctly install Porteus on a Virt-Manager QEMU libvirt virtual machine?

Use an IDE disk and hence /dev/sd*.
