 How did you extract the image and what boot command did you use?

 The message means the file system is corrupted and /boot can not be read,
 so most likely something went wrong when you wrote miniroot.fs to the disk.

 Glad it worked now!

 Typical usage would be to write it to a swap partiton (after unconfiguring
 swap), but you boot output did not mention "disk:b" or similar.

 I did dd the image to the live disk and then power cycled the machine in
 order to not overwrite things. However it seems I got unlucky. It worked
 the second time.
 My mistake, sorry :)
