Because the way -kernel works is to create a fake bootsector internally,

that. If you haven't got an hda, it gets confused. (It probably shouldn't,
since it's not actually _using_ it, but it does.)
Note that if you mmap /dev/zero it counts as an anonymous mapping, so feeding
in /dev/zero for hda works just fine here.
Thank you, that works. And it's always good to know how it works.
