Comment (by xeon3d):

 I was unable to get a PS/2 Adapter, but I compiled one of the latest
 revisions of Haiku straight to a hard disk partition and it booted (even
 tho I have to use fail safe vesa modes, but that was to be expected due to
 the GPU I have).

 Sadly there were a lot more quirks after it booted such as:
 * Ethernet chip wasn't detected.
 * Wireless card didn't detect any networks (had the firmwares installed)
 * High pitched sounds on the speakers, muting or changing the volume did
 nothing.

 Shall I open individual tickets for these? What info should I provide now
 that I can boot Haiku?

 Also, what can I provide while booting from CD/USB to help diagnose why it
 doesn't find any boot partitions ?
