boot an instance with ephemeral disk failed

Asked by Tina Kevin

I boot an instance with ephemeral disk in kilo, but return http request error:
eg:
nova boot --flavor 2 --image 5905bd7e-a87f-4856-8401-b8eb7211c84d --nic net-id=12ace164-d996-4261-9228-23ca0680f7a8 --ephemeral size=5,format=ext3 test_vm1

ERROR (BadRequest): Block Device Mapping is Invalid: Boot sequence for the instance and image/block device mapping combination is not valid. (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req-b571662f-e554-49a7-979f-763f34b4b162)

The error occurs in nova-api.log, not nova-compute. Here is the log:

I think the instance with ephemeral disk should be able to boot from the image, instead of invalid boot sequence.
 need help, thanks.
