Comment (by cdesai):

 Okay so I was able to get it booting finally, but the resolution wasn't
 right.

 Some more details:
 Still the same image/hrev/hardware.
 Booting directly via the flash drive results in a black screen after the
 Haiku loading screen finishes because it picks and invalid resolution and
 the monitor doesn't like that.
 I then tried a bunch of options from the bootloader menu, some of which
 resulted in the above.

 It only allows me to select 4:3 resolutions.

 So then I started from square one again, and was able to get it to boot by
 selecting the 'VGA Mode' in the failsafe video option, enabling it and
 booting into safe mode.

 I did check the syslog from a working build and the video BIOS did report
 the correct values, unfortunately I didn't have any FAT partition devices
 around so I couldn't save the full log, I'll get it next time from a non-
 working boot via the way you suggested.
