Ok I was able to install latest UZIX 0.2.1 without issues using openMSX 
Tomorrow I will burn the dsk to a CF card and try on real hardware.
Thanks for your help ATroubleshooter!
Excellent!
The first obvious difference between them, which I figured out looking at the contents of /etc/cpmtools/diskdefs in my linux box, is that Amstrad disks are single-sided, have 40 cylinders, and 2 reserved 'boot tracks'.
While the MSX drives usualy (like in my case) are double-sided, have 80 cylinders, and:
- 4 'boot tracks' for CP/M 2.2
- 2 'boot tracks' for CP/M 3
which is quite a difference.
I suppose we'll have to patch SYSGEN et al... for these reasons at least.
But also remember that the ultimate goal is to make it work with IDE hard drive

And, you did it with which version of BEER firmware, may I ask? 1.8 or 1.9?
Thank you.
A brief report. That's where I've got so far:
CP/M 3 sees hard drive(with BEER IDE inteface). CP/M 3 sees all the partitions. It logs into the drives and lists (empty) directory.
That's what a Disk Utility says about an 8Megs partition -
Which's seemingly incorrect.
