Comment (by mmlr):
The syslog there shows that it got a boot method CD, so this seems
different.
In both cases the boot partition is indeed readable and identified
properly, but then not used. In this case, due to the wrong boot method,
the selection is probably too strict.
One could argue that in both cases it should maybe try harder and boot the
most probable target if none can be exactly determined. There is only a
single possible boot source in this case. This would then possibly lead to
a case where firmware is able to read a volume and make it available to
the bootloader that we don't actually have a driver for. In such a case we
would then maybe boot a wrong partition. This would probably still be
better than failing also in straight forward cases like the one here.
