That's the image I got.

... Ah! I see what I did wrong. I had the image in my \Downloads
directory and I did

factor.com -i=\Downloads\boot.x86.32.image

Looks like either the command line processing doesn't handle backslash
path separators, or factor needs the image to be in the current
directory. Probably the former.

No, I'm wrong. factor.com -i=/Downloads/boot.x86.32.image also fails.
So it looks like the image needs to be in the current directory. Maybe
a clarification in README.txt would be useful. Something like the
following at the bottom of the section "Bootstrapping the Factor
image":

Note that you cannot include a path name in the image filename passed
to the -i argument
