After getting ever more annoyed at the slowness of this process I
upgraded to a bigger and much faster USB drive - A Sandisk cruzer
8GB to be exact. Unfortunately Haiku doesn't like it...
What you describe is interesting, but putting it here is not really
the right
place. Please open a bug report at dev.haiku-os.org. Also please
state what
revision you're using.
Yea, I was just asking if this was a known problem but I happened to
be installing at the time so added the extra detail.
I've fixed a pretty severe issue in this context last
weekend (r28934 and up).
Please check with a current revision and see if the trouble
persists. If it
does, please open a bug report mentioning the exact messages you see
in the
KDL. Probably it's something along the lines of "could not write
back block x".
Nope, looks like you fixed it :-)
I was able to initialise a partition and write to it.
Annoyingly it appears to be just as slow though. This is not the
drives fault (writing is very fast from a Mac). An optimisation for
later methinks...
Anyway it's left me with a question...
Anyone have any idea how I get a machine to boot off a bootable
partition?
Getting it to boot is easy if there's only one partition, but how do I
set it up if there's 2?
