Mike, unless I misunderstand you, I don't think that is correct.
The model reads the image file as if it were a disk with partitions inside it. For example, the standard images that we provides have two partitions: boot and root.
the model reads the file as a file. it is the kernel itself that parses it looking for partition tables/filesystems/etc...
so i'm comfortable with my previous statement being correct.
Fair point. You are correct, the model knows nothing of partitions, it's the software on the model that looks after those details.
I think the wording "you have to manage the disk image yourself." is open to mis-interpretation.
