Comment 5 Jan Stodola 2013-04-22 12:14:58 UTC
Also reproduced with F19-Alpha (anaconda-19.20-1). 

Executed with following options:
# anaconda --graphical --image=file.img

from storage.log:
...
07:32:35,833 INFO blivet: setting up disk image file 'file.img' as 'file'
07:32:35,833 ERR blivet: failed to set up disk image: FileDevice requires an absolute path
...

With absolute path, anaconda shows the image file. Changing summary of the bug.
