Comment (by vidrep):
After many hours of installs I have found that there are two main factors
at play here:
1. Pre-Package management (PPM) vs Package management (PM) builds
2. Anyboot (BeFS) image vs CD ISO (ISO9660) image
PM was merged in hrev46113
PM builds will install any mounted PM anyboot-image to a hard drive
partition, but NOT a CD ISO image. (The CD ISO image will not be visible
in the "install from:" selection in the Installer).
PM builds will install any mounted PPM anyboot-image to a hard drive
partition, however it will NOT boot.
You will get an error message "Failed to load OS. Press any key to
reboot..."
The above scenario is also true for PPM builds. They will only install to
a hard drive partition using a
PPM anyboot image.
