thats good, because the forums needs this.i had no luck with dd or makebootable natively thru qemu under haiku or senryu.

the russian usb loader, if you will, wont boot to usb stick.
i can boot the machine just fine, even from usb.the system pretends the usb drive is internal IDE master.

the only othe roption left is compile from sources, right? im on ppc atm cant do that right now until i finish moving.

Hi Richard

only issue with that is it doesnt boot.thus the need for grub loader.

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.
