Sure this should be allowed. That's how one would initialize a partition-
less USB stick. According to the syslog the BFS volume is detected
correctly, BTW:

The syslog is missing the boot loader part BTW. It would be interesting to
see the syslog of a boot from the hard disk (continued on CD).
Installing an MBR on a disk initialized this way renders it unbootable,
BTW. Just in case that happened.
After following your instructions in qemu (with the R1 alpha 2 ISO CD
image and a 700 MB disk image) up to point 9, the system boots fine from
disk and DriveSetup shows the setup correctly.
