Re: BOOTING IN WINDOWS!!

It complains about not having the special files in /dev/. Windows is probably not able to do this, so I guess you're out of luck. Probably the same thing for files/executable that have the SUID bit set.

The Mame PoC uses the netblock driver, which mounts a file over a network and uses it as a "block device" (like a harddisk is). However, it's not possible to do this trick on the debian root package since the nbd-client gets killed when switching runlevels and the root device is lost, kind of like pulling your harddrive out of your computer while it's running.
