Also, you need to have read ability on /dev/sda3 in this case, like via 
"sudo chmod o+r /dev/sda" for this. I'm using a script that does this 
for me, whenever I want to install Haiku to a partition.
Another advantage of this approach is that you can't accidently clobber 
other partitions, as you don't have the rights to write on them (ie. if 
you copied over a different UserBuildConfig that mentioned another 
partition).
