What you mean by "different tab"?  If this is about OSX GUI
and Hatari options, having floppy image inserted means that
boot sector is read from whichever media happens to be
the boot drive (Hatari sets the last one given on command
line as that, otherwise it's hard disk, if present).

If you strace Hatari, how that file is read in your case (OSX?)?

Is it with read*() syscalls or by using memory map?
If latter, is mmap() done with MAP_PRIVATE?
