AFAIK GRUB uses (hdX) for all harddrives, regardless of type. At least
that's what's used for my other partitions on the very same device.

Haiku does support SATA, at least some controllers that came before
AHCI. In fact, that's the very reason I'm trying to install Haiku
natively on this computer, to test a nVidia SATA controller (and HDA
also).

I'll consider this if I encounter that error.

Do I need to run makebootable when installing Haiku using the build
system, or is that done automatically?
What procedure did you follow when you did this, Ingo?
I'm thankful for all help I can get.
