DriveSetup has the capability of creating a Haiku volume without using an
Intel partition map. You can make the entire drive a Haiku volume.
In fact, I was not aware it could. I thought when selecting the drive and
using the menus Partition > Initialize > Be File System that I was
creating an Intel partition map on that drive with the first partition
taking up the entire space. Unsure if this is a usability issue or just
me, but I digress.
Should you wind up creating a Haiku volume spanning the entire drive with
no partition map, Haiku will happily install to it. This is fine. What's
not fine is that Installer will happily install the boot manager to the
drive, automatically, at the end of the file copy procedure. This
corrupts the volume.
Rebooting I am presented with a boot manager that sees no Haiku volumes.
