Works fine for me... here's a bug that's been around for a while though:
Go to Options/Booting and check "Show dialog & wait for OK before booting"
Do OA-B to start the boot. When the dialog comes up, click Cancel.
Do OA-B again. Notice the "Boot error: This kernel is not in a format
which the booter can execute."
Do OA-B again. When the dialog comes up, click Cancel.
Repeat previous step until booter runs out of memory.
