Unable to boot instance using UML

I will take a look at this.

FYI, this is fixed by my change If2fcc97928607189446e067886f70786bcc1cb3f,
which moves around lots of stuff in that function anyway. However, that's
buried in the middle of a big series. If you want to fix it anyway please
go ahead and I'll sort the merge conflict when it comes around.
