Hm?

Did you use the 1.6 miniroot? See the code snippet below, which has been
part of install.md as of the 1.6 branch from the beginning. My 1.6 test
install disk (a MO) *checking* does have boot.amiga.

Can you mount your miniroot (from a vnd or however) and check whether
install.md contains that snippet including the boot.amiga line?
