Ok, it turns out this is a bug in the generic cloud image, which ships with
the linux-generic kernel, a kernel which is not expected to boot without
initramfs.

We should fix this to not set the FORCE_PARTUUID flag on this image, since
there's no expectation that it will work.

I've opened a task on livecd-rootfs for this.

Note that the /minimal/ downloadable cloud image uses the linux-kvm kernel
instead; that is the one that has the virtio drivers built-in, and can be
booted without an initramfs.
