Is being read-only bad for a partition? Quite the opposite I would

I'd say it's foremost about using colours that are quite distinguished
from eachother. Using complementaries like red, green, blue isn't too
bad for that.
If you use DriveSetup in the process of installing Haiku, having it
analog to a traffic light (green == BFS & writable == B_OK and red !=
writable | !BFS == B_NOT_OK) does make some sense.
Using SUCCESS and FAILURE colours instead of hardcoding may also be
useful, because those two colour constants are probably always kept
distinct, even if a user plays with theming.
