Well, sure. But this requires knowing the LBA of the partition offset,
little endian, and is only capable of booting the 1st HD.
While it definitely worked for me here, I'd be thrilled if the loader
was a little more flexible.
BTW, Sweet Lord, did Haiku NAIL supporting the hardware on my laptop!
I dd'd the flat image to a partition I set apart for it, and
chainloaded stage1. *Everything* that I need for daily use worked
(except for wifi, of course). And what a *big* surprise, the kernel
groks GPT!
Anyway... I've got to dissect the syslog to see what other gems are
hiding there. But for now, off to sleep, I got carried away by the
excitement :D
Cheers,
