First time using cloud init, and I find when I import via the gui the disk isn't bootable. I have to use qm importdisk instead. IS this expected?
 
Sure. I uploaded the image to my store via the "upload" option in the gui. I then gui imported it to the VM, set it as scsci0. It would not boot.

Ultimately, I did a wget on the image directly, then used qm import. Everything else was done in the GUI and it worked.
 
Two possibilites get to my mind:
  • did you update the boot order in vm options? (no offense meant)
  • did you provide a hash in the upload dialog? It could just be a transport error
 
No offense taken, I did.
I did not provide a hash, but both methods wget and URL were used with the same link.
 
As not only the source is important, but what is received, comparing hashes would shed some light on that.
