 Replying to [comment:7 haiqu]:
 > FYI I tried building and using makebootabletiny from BeOS and the
 partition didn't boot. It's still looking for the wrong file and in the
 wrong location. If I'd built it from Haiku it probably would have worked,
 but this report is about bootstrapping into a new system so that option
 wouldn't be available.

 makebootabletiny does nothing more than change the partition offset - it
 doesn't set the path, which is why I suggested dd'ing the entire first
 block of a haiku IMAGE to your partition and then running makebootabletiny
 on it...but anyhow, i'm sure you'll find more creative ways.
