#8343: Why does Bootman not work and Haiku won't install/boot? ------------------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: Luposian | Owner: bonefish Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Partitioning Systems/Intel | Version: R1/alpha3 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 ------------------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by tangobravo): As to why you have problems now and not before - you've zeroed the disk, thus getting rid of any partition structure that was on there before. If you had paritions on it already that you didn't mind wiping, you could have just selected one of them and initialized it as BFS (essentially step 3 only). There's no need to completely zero the disk before starting. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8343#comment:10> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
