Managed to get a successful boot after a manual install of Grub and changing the grub.cfg. i think boot was failing because something happened during the first boot using qemu that corrupted things on the live-rw partition. I made a new one and am now running inside Gazpacho from USB, semi-made with the make-live-device.sh
it seems a bit slower than i remember 9.11 being, but it may have to do with my hacky build. otherwise looks nice!
