Comment (by taos):
Mounting of anyboot images would be great - especially if haiku no longer
distributes raw (alpha) images (can't find any on [http://www.haiku-os.org
/get-haiku] at least).
A raw image file can be mounted and then chosen as source disk in
Installer - a very easy and fast way to install Haiku if you have two
partitions for testing purposes. With a raw image file it is also easy to
disable (delete) a driver that would prevent your system from booting
properly before haiku is installed - I remember a nasty wlan driver that
would crash my system even in safe mode if not deleted.
As long as anyboot images can't be mounted in haiku raw images shouldn't
be abandoned completely.
