I think it is common for UFS volumes to be named "/" (I did have my machine return from Apple Care with an HFS root volume named "\" which made me shudder from DOS related memories).
The weird thing is, it would let me rename the volume but would appear again as "/" after a reboot.

I've looked again into the NSImage docs and it actually recommends using extensions when referencing files. Curiously, Interface Builder can't find the file if an extension is specified.

I'm curious if you are running into a case sensitivity bug in Cocoa; maybe it is searching for someImage.PNG -- I'm too lazy to check this myself, mostly because I don't have UFS available to actually check.
Same here... actually it's easy to make a r/w disk image with UFS, but I'm wrestling with more urgent bugs right now. I think case sensitivity is involved somewhere, though.
