Thank you,  no change.
Qemu has no issue with booting this image file.

I know that most people are not booting UML from a physcal block device.  It 
would be nice to install under Qemu and Run under UML without any changes to 
the image file. 

This would also allow people to  make a copy of a running system and boot under 
UML as a test bed. 
 
 I'm about to stop testing UML. :(  UML has so much that I would like to use.  
Performance and memory use look much better.  UML seems like a better way to 
go, but It's a hard sell If the only images that work are built from 
debootstrap and can't be moved to real hardware without the risk of killing the 
image.

I would hate to install grub and a kernel and have no way of booting under UML.

Thank you for your help.

Possibly.  Did you create a tty0 file in /etc/event.d/ on the guest?  It
should look just like tty1 except replace all instances of tty1 with tty0.
