I've got only one partition in my image file:

=========================================================
$ /sbin/parted  alan_restore.img
WARNING: You are not superuser.  Watch out for permissions.

I'd expect I should refer to it with /dev/sda1. However, when booting it 
doesn't find it.

It's strange, since it finds /dev/sda, i.e. the entire disk:

=========================================================
[    6.438693] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 188743680 512-byte logical blocks:

enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
=========================================================

However, it then complains that /dev/sda1 does not exists:

=========================================================

done.
Gave up waiting for root file system device.  Common problems:
  - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
    - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
  - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT!  /dev/sda1 does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!
=========================================================

Same thing if I try with /dev/sda2 or anything.

Regards!
