Thank you for having tried GMV.

Ok. I'll put zsh in the "to-add" list.

When does this happen exactly? Was the image correctly burned? 
I get the same messages on my laptop when the system is trying to
mount root from /dev/cd9660/FreeSBIE, but then the boot process
continues without any additional issue and these errors seems not to
cause anything. I don't know if it's related, but you can try
disabling ATAPI DMA, but, if you do, expect a slower boot-time (I
don't know how much slower..).
