WinCE on HPC/Pro MIPS?

I got the WinCE VM for H/PC Pro on MIPS from 
http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~ohshima/squeak/WinCE/SqueakVM-alpha6-PocketPC-MIPS.zip
and then installed it and a 6Mb stripped down 3.2g image on my 
CompactFlash card on my WinCE machine (NEC MobilePro 770).

This identifies itself as:
Microsoft Windows CE,
Handheld PC Edition Version 3.0:
Core system version 2.11

When I start the VM it asks for the name of the image file. I then 
select the image and it tells me that it can't find the image.

It says:

----
Squeak!
Could not open the Squeak image file '\Storage Card2\My 
Documents\Squeak\Squeak.image'
There are several ways to open the Squeak image file. You can:
 1. Double-click on the desired image file.
 2. Drop the image file onto the Squeak application.
Aborting...
----

Same thing (minus asking me for the file name) happens when I supply 
the full name of the image at the command line.

And (contrary to the requestor text above) I can't start it by 
double-clicking or dropping.

I have tried putting the image, changes, and sources file as well as 
the VM in both 

\Storage Card2\S\
and
\Storage Card2\My Documents\Squeak\

Does anyone have any suggestions? I assume this is the right VM 
because it at least starts and asks for an image.

I have had Squeak running on this machine before, but a different 
image and VM.

I have 27Mb free space for program memory, and 5.3Mb free space on the 
RAM-based pseudo-drive. The CF card "\Storage Card2" has 30Mb free.

I would very much like to get this going before spending 5 hours on a 
plane tomorrow.

Thanks,
