Your disk device is initialized with a Be File system. So It certainly
have the 0x55AA MAGIC NUMBER present at the end of the first block of
every bootable volume.
The Intel partitioning system check for this 'flag' and do not initializes
a partitioning system if it is present on the disk (to avoid the overwrite
of the partition table).
Write zeros to the firsts 1024 bytes of your disk device(use dd or
DiskProbe), then reboot.[[BR]]
You should be able to create a partitioning system and a BFS partition
onto it. (don't forget to create an "ACTIVE" one!).[[BR]]
Also you'll may have to write a working MBR boot code if you want to boot
on your "live-USB" key (you can find one on the haiku-anyboot-image or in
the ticket #3441 ).
