Comment (by vidrep):

 Replying to [comment:5 pulkomandy]:

So that leaves us with just this: it is not possible to install a pre-PM
 haiku using the installer from a current version. Do we really need to
 support that?

 Not unless we're planning on reverting package management.

 Otherwise, your other comment above should probably be addressed somehow
 and documented:

 'Suggested change for the other problem: Installer should check for an
 haiku or haiku_loader package. If there is none on the source disk, then
 it should be removed from the acceptable sources (or shown but disabled,
 that makes it clear it is not possible to install from it)."
