Hi Nio!!
I finally had a chance to test the obi_ToriOS-a1-9w image in virtual box.
The first problem I notice is the lack of the package 'menu' being
installed.
This is the first 'major' issue.
The second is, that I disabled PAE in the Virtual Box settings, and I
couldn't boot into ToriOS.  Once I enabled it, I was able to boot.
I have to get my internet working inside it to test more, but I don't
have anymore time quite yet.

I will make a second image of the regular installer.  I like the Live
Mode!!  It will be really nice to use the full ToriOS setup in that
livemode eventually!
Your work is superb!!
