Question: Can I install this on an extended partition? Will it boot?
That's all I have free at the moment.


Best way to do that is use R5 DriveSetup to initialize that spare partition
as BFS (name it "Haiku" - so /Haiku will be the mount point by default)

Then run

jam install-haiku

it will by default attempt to install the contents of the image to /Haiku
instead of creating the image as a file.

You can then add extra files to the Haiku partition (which do not get
removed during subsequent jams)

finally, install bootman (or your boot manager of choice) and set it up as
another bootable partition on boot.
