My Haiku box died in the last week or so so tonight I attempted to install
haiku-master-hrev55961-x86_64-anyboot on an old i7 desktop machine, I'm
pretty sure it pre-dates UEFI.
So I open DriveSetup, choose my HD/SSD (I've tried this with two different
SATA disks, one a spinning rust HD and one a SSD) then I choose Initialize
-> Intel Partition Map from the Disk menu then and choose to Continue and
Write changes I get the error:
Failed to initialize the disk **!
Error: Invalid Argument
If I try the same function again I get the error:
Failed to initialize the disk **!
Error: Device/File/Resource busy.
Choosing Initialize -> GUID Partition Map instead has the same problem.
