I'm trying to make the .img thing booting on Virtualbox to see if it's as good as it looks.

Good luck with that. I was able to get Moblin (well, the previous version, anyway) to at least do something by adding a new "floppy image" in the form of the ISO to boot from (if I remember right). Didn't get very far, as it booted only to tell me that it required an Atom processor, and would not run on my AMD64. Or maybe it was a .IMG file, I don't remember. All I know is that it needed to be "attached" as a floppy image and after that, it just didn't work.
