Hey Koki!
Happy New Year!
I installed Haiku on the Acer following the steps below (mine is the HDD
version, but the same steps should work for the SDD version)
These instructions use a linux machine extensively so having one is
advised/
Steps 1-3 are only needed because the partition manager does not really let
you manage partitions yet ;) Steps 10-11 are needed because makebootable
was broken for the longest time in the installer and I don't trust it :)
1) Crate a Gparted boot cd or usb stick
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
2) boot the system and partition the drive to have an empty partition for
Haiku (i use partid 'eb' for BeOS)
3) Shut the system down.
4) dd the latest uncompressed pre-alpha drive image to a USB memory stick
from a linux/UNIX machine
http://haiku-files.org/raw/index.php
dd if=haiku-alpha.image of=/dev/USBSTICKDRIVE bs=1024
5) Boot the Acer with the Haiku USB stick
6) Format the partition you created in step 2 as BeFS.
7) Launch the Installer located in /boot/beos/apps/
8) Select the partition you formatted and take note of the path (
/dev/dsk/ata/0/master/[0-4] )
9) Install the System
10) Unmount the destination drive on the desktop.
11) open a command prompt and run the following: makebootable <THE PATH
FROM STEP 8> to make the partition bootable.
12) Run bootman to install a bootloader in the MBR.
13) Profit (Haiku)
Lets post any replies into the Haiku mailing list not to spam -development.
