Yes, it says "<No boot volume found>". I also tried Rescan volumes.
In the BeOS boot loader it only shows the BeOS5 partition.  

This is what I tried.
reinitalizing the haiku partition using the BeOS DriveSetup.
jam clean
svn update
makehdimage /haiku

I get the same results as before.
It compiles fine, but after it creates the directory structure
it says "failed to create the index BEOS:APP_SIG: Invalid argument"
Could this be the problem?

Thanks for all your help.
