Weird. I really don't think of a Sweet16 limitation here, I really
don't understand why it crashes but...

- Which version of Sweet16 is yours?
- Did you discuss with the its developer?
- Are you confident with the disk image you are using?
- At what time during boot does it crash?
- How does it crash?
- Why don't you press 8 at boot time?
