Sorry about that...

Nope.

/new1 46.6 GB -> /boot (BeOS Max)
/new2 46.6 GB -> (Haiku)

It's the only drive in the system.

I use mount from the terminal to mount haiku.image, delete what's on /new2, 
then copy everything over to it using Tracker.  This has always worked.  It 
gets to the Haiku bootloader too, it just doesn't see /new2 for some reason, no 
matter how many times I tell it to rescan.  I tried makebootable and that 
didn't seem to help any.

Thanks,
Kev
