BTW, you don't need to run makebootable, if you dd directly to the disk.
The image is already set up to work in exactly that situation.

Did you install an MBR, too? I forgot to mention that earlier. No idea how
to install one from MacOS. You can probably download one and dd it to the
drive before partitioning (hoping that it will be preserved).

Is their image partitioned? Assuming it is and has a single partition, you
could try to dd the Haiku image to that partition and run makebootable.

No output like there's a flash screen or something showing or indeed a text
mode screen with really no output after whatever the BIOS prints?
