Comment (by bonefish):

 I suppose with initialize you mean initialize with BFS. If so, then it
 isn't surprising that bootman complains about no available space, because
 there really isn't any -- the whole disk is used by BFS.

 I also don't quite understand why you would want to install bootman on the
 disk at all, since you dedicate the whole disk anyway. Or is your mention
 of a Lubuntu installation supposed to mean that you have two drives?

 If you can grab the serial output of the failed boot process, please
 attach that. If not, in the boot loader debug options you can "Display
 current boot loader log". The part after "Welcome to the Haiku boot
 loader!" (usually comes shortly after the list of display modes) is the
 interesting one. It will be a few pages (Page Up/Down works). Please take
 pictures of those. For reference the syslog from a boot off the CD could
 be helpful as well.
