[openbeos] *don't hurt me* jam'ing to partitions...

Guys, I know this had been spoken about over and over...
 
I've been trying to get a 'stable' development environment for Haiku for around 
a month now... failing miserably.
First it was on my Fujitsu LOOX (Crusoe 533mhz + 112mb RAM) and that failed on 
compile under BeOSMAXv3* due to ram limitations.
Second was an install of Gentoo on my P2.4D... the compile failed under linux 
and I couldn't work out what the hell was going down... now that I think of it, 
it was probably GCC being an incorrect version, etc... I might check that out 
again...
Third, I managed to install BeOSMAXv4b1 on the P2.4D, through magical bios 
settings and adding an IDE 10g drive since SATA wasn't an option (disk > 
160gb)... anyway... compile finished this morning, have a 1gb partition on this 
disk for Haiku... attempted:
HAIKU_INSTALL_DIR=/dev/disk/ide/ata/0/slave/0_1 jam haiku_image
...Said that it had written all sorts of stuff to the disk, no errors... but no 
luck... the partition still mounted fine and I had the usual 'Trash' folder 
(from when I first initialised it when installed BeOSMAX). ... And I hadn't 
seemed to have trashed any other partition?
 
...Anyway, my question is: What is the correct syntax for jam'ing Haiku direct 
to a partition on BeOSMAXv4b1. It's the second partition on IDE:0:SLAVE.
 
Thanks for anyone who attempts to decode my caffeinated text.
