I think the easiest method for any modern BIOS is to download the USB
image and write it to a USB stick, then boot from that on the machine
you want to install to. You can test out the drivers before
installing.
See http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/making_haiku_usb_stick
It would be best if you had a spare partition ready and then it should
be just a matter of following the installer in Haiku.
See http://www.haiku-os.org/get-haiku/installation-guide
If you have problems booting from a USB stick then you can try burning
a CD to boot from
