Comment(by mmlr):
Replying to [ticket:5436 andrey86]:
> At the beginning of installation I have selected partition on the "Onto"
tab (name: Haiku, size: 2GB) and then pressed "Write Boot Sector On Haiku"
and "Begin" buttons. After installation the system reported "Installation
completed. Boot sector has been written to 'Haiku'...", but after
rebooting VirtualBox reported "Boot Sector Not Found". So, message from
the system at the end of installation was wrong.
No it actually wasn't. Both messages just concern two different boot
sectors. One is the master boot record (MBR) which apparently didn't
contain any chainloader/bootmanager and is why VirtualBox complained, the
other is the partition boot record (PBR) which was installed by the
Installer to make the partition bootable.
Was this an empty disk image partitioned by DriveSetup? If so, this one's
fixed since quite a bit as the intel partitioning module installs a
chainloader when writing a clean MBR now. Otherwise it's a duplicate of
#5397.
