I don't think using a GRUB-mounted image will work. It may load the kernel, but after that AROS won't be able to read files from the image.
I can't remember exactly what partition layouts Poseidon currently supports, but probably ordinary MBR/FAT and RDB/FFS without any nested tables.

@ncafferkey
Great news for me: i have in plan to show AROS in some local LUGs and of course showing AROS boot natively from a stick is more attractive than showing it in qemu :) Saimon69

I haven't committed the code to do this yet, so you can't try it ATM. As I said, hopefully it will be ready within a week or so.

This is really good news! AROS on an LiveUSB key sure will help spreading AROS to more users that do not want to repartition their hard drive.
@ncafferkey Do you boot AROS with SFS filesystem? AROS with its low file access rate (compared to windoze and others that constantly read/writes some #OOPS# on the HD  ), surly will feel pretty snappy on USB2 speeds
