The boot image file is available with the mini-be iso. Some help files
tell you to record 2 cds, using one to boot the other, but the boot
image was a normal boot disk image, so I just used rawrite to copy it
onto a diskette and boot with it to the cdrw containing the mini-be
image (press space, chose boot media).
The boot process should now go ok, and you'll be at the mini-beos
desktop, now you just have to replace 2 files from your old beos
partition:
/boot/beos/system/kernel_intel.patch
/boot/beos/system/lib/libroot.so.patch
Beware of the shell script that's available out there, it won't replace
libroot.so.patch (it'll try to replace libroot.patch, without the so)
and will leave you with a unbootable system: it will hang right after
all the icons are loaded.
BTW, I got all this from this BeGroov

Good luck!
