Maybe you needed to install an CPU patch as well to get BeOS working? I 
forgot about this as well one time... (and the RAM fix only ever worked 
with Dano for me)

I wouldn't recommend that just yet. While the text only version should 
be stable enough to do some development, you still might get occasional 
crashes that could let you lose all what you've done pretty easily.
When Ingo is done with the build system (shouldn't take that long 
anymore, it's basically working) we have Linux as a full featured 
alternative build development platform. Maybe that will help you a bit.
