 I have a 4GB flash drive with two partitions on it, one 1GB for haiku and
 the rest (2.75GB) as a FAT32 partition with a live Ubuntu 10.04 installed.
 It has grub installed on the MBR with the option to boot haiku or linux.
 For details of how the drive was prepared see:
 //www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/booting-from-partition-on-
 flash-drive,12 . As stated on that mailing list thread I found that
 arrangement to be quite valuable for testing since if haiku didn't boot, I
 could always try linux. I recently upgraded from my Intel D945GCLF2  to a
 D525MW motherboard and have been unable to boot from this flash drive into
 haiku. When I select haiku from the grub boot menu, I get the haiku boot
 loader menu with the line "select boot volume (current:none)" highlighted.
 Hitting enter takes me to the "Select Boot Volume" screen where the only
 choice is the haiku a partition on the hard disk. The boot loader appears
 not to be finding the haiku partition on the flash drive. This method
 works on my netbook which is quite similar to the new motherboard and was
 tested earlier using an R1/a3rc (41552).
