I wrote the same thing a few e-mails before…

you don´t know when it happens. In BeOS you can see what the problem is. (If

That's if Haiku boots at all...
I thought with BeOS, Zeta, the boot icons would give an indication of
where your system would fault on booting. i.e, if it got stuck on the
networking icon, then your networking driver is messed or unsupported, if it
got stuck on the disk icon, then your file system is corrupted... etc.

It would be "cool" as advertisement for the HAIKU project. You see the
boot
screen 3 seconds
and you know it´s from the HAIKU Team ;-) And the brand Haiku is
protected!?
I hope so. The Haiku Logo with TM (trademark) or R (registered trademark)
i´m no lawyer but I guess this should be there...
I guess a short message with "press spacebar for safe mode" (or something
like that) that Stephan A. wrote and maybe a color switching rectangle in
one corner like the one in BeOS would make sense.
