that's because you boot from a (virtual?) cdrom during the install
process.
typically this is sdD0. when you boot from the normal system, you boot
from the virtual hard drive, sdC0. the super special el torito process
makes a cdrom appear differently when its booted from than when
it's just accessed normally.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I suppose then, that #S/dev/sdC0/fossil
is perfectly OK for booting from.
With this situation at hand, and the bag of nasty little tricks empty, I
think the better option is to either try another virtualization/emulation
solution (I gave up on Bochs x86 emulator just a few minutes ago, it was
too unstable and slow for my purpose) or get a used hard drive for that
little old PC sitting in the corner of my room.
