Two BootCamp Partitions, cannot boot from second of two.

I manually created two BootCamp partitions that each boot fine in BootCamp mode. The images have previously worked as single BootCamp partitions.

 

Windows 8.1 is on /dev/disk4s2, Windows 7x64 on ./dev/disk4/s3

When I create an automatic BootCamp configuration, it builds a VM with both partitions booting of /dev/disk4s2 - Windows 8

 

I duplicated the configurations, but created new disks:

$ /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk4 3 BootCamp7 ide

$ /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk4 2 BootCamp8 ide

 

I then removed the old vmdk and pt-vmdk files from the bundles, added these, and edited the VMX to reflect the name change. The disks show up properly in the GUI.

 

The Windows 8 configuration on slice 2 boots fine, but the Windows 7 on slice 3 ends up trying to net boot with a startup disk not found. The BIOS is configured correctly and sees the disk. Settings is configured to boot from the hard disk.

 

What am I missing?
