Hey John. It should boot fine. I would do a couple of things: First, try watching it boot with video out connected and see what happens and where it's borking. Second, look at the device slices and make sure /boot/msdos is there with the standard txt files that RPi needs. I haven't used Tom K's images in a while, but I would assume they are fine. g
