Strange, can you send me the content of the file /mnt/de7/init.lua ?
(to do that boot with an OpenOS floppy and do cat /mnt/de7/init.lua and send me a screenshot of that)

reading through it myself, it seems like the _G.loadfile bit is missing from the "no OpenOS" shortcut on line 27.

After adding it back, the OS boots most of the way, before hanging at (5/5) Loading 03_os.lua.. until i click on the screen, when it finally drops into a shell
