Evidently the image I found at ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/haiku was ancient,

Got around the slow copy between drives problem eventually by zipping the
sources, copying that, and unzipping again. It saved about 6 hours.
Can you give more details about your system?
Have a look at ideinfo and idestatus. I wonder if DMA is on for you.
I just recently moved my development across to haiku on a EeePC. It
is a single drive and I zipped the sources from my BeOS machine,
ftp'ed to the Haiku machine and unzipped.
Unzipping took about 30mins or so.
It was interesting how the machine worked while it was unzipping
though. Lots of CPU followed by a long pause (presumably IO). While
IO was going on the system was unresponsive.
