I think you are missing some bits and pieces here. Haiku can very well 
be booted on real hardware since a long time. I have it seen running on 
many machines, rest assured, and configured booted through various 
means (BeOS bootman, GRUB, directly from the partition boot code). It 
also boots fine from USB sticks. In fact I have written an article 
about this topic this very day to explain parts involved and what is 
compatible with what. You can find it at 
http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/user/how_to_get_haiku_booted. 
Hope this helps.

Michael
