Would be nice to have an easy way for those to try it on a partition that resides on aSATA drive. And because VMs mount other partitions as SCSI, I haven'tbeen able to use a VM to make a partition bootable. (if anyone has any tips on this, I can't find them on the Haiku site)You don´t need to run makebootable. When you compile straight to a partition the build system does the quivalent of running makebootable automatically for you. If you are unable to boot is probably because your SATA controller is not supported. You could try enabling the ATA driver being developed by Marcus and see it it works.
He is dd-ing on Ubuntu, so afterwards he does need to invoke jam ":<build>makebootable" /dev/sdx or so, as outlined in the howto on the website. Compiling to partition would be another option, yes.
