Yep -- there's still a "BeOS 4.5", plus three Haiku partitions.
But does that gain me anything? I can *mount* the stick directly.
I just can't (or can't see any way to) *run* from it, so I get the
matching kernel and libraries. I'd have to be able to boot a mounted
image, wouldn't I?
[BTW, how does one 'mount' an image? I think there's a 'mountimage' app
somewhere, but not on the distro that I can see.]
