Comment (by LSS37040):
By the way, not sure if this might be related.
The system currently has an existing Haiku R1/beta1 install that I intend
to replace (reinstall), as it was installed while the system was still on
an older motherboard, and with the current motherboard I couldn't use the
keyboard/mouse anymore.
When I hold `SHIFT` to invoke the Haiku boot loader menu, it seems to
choose the installation on my hard disk by default, instead of the USB
stick (which has the `Haiku` label), so I have to manually choose it to
boot from the USB stick, and eventually I get this error saying it can't
find the boot partition.
And again, how should one create a bootable USB stick? My sticks were
created on Linux using GNOME disk utility (which seems to use the `dd`
method for ISO images).
Plus something minor and off-topic: The system uses
[https://trac.netlabs.org/air-boot Airboot] as the primary boot manager,
as I also intend to boot other operating systems, including OS/2 (ArcaOS)
on it. The boot manager can directly boot other operating systems like
Windows and Linux (GRUB) by choosing their respective system/boot
partition, but not Haiku (even after installation, or marking it
bootable). For now I can use GRUB from my Linux installation to chainload
into Haiku. Not sure which side is the problem. If the issue is not
related to Haiku's boot loader then I'll file a bug report on Airboot side
instead.
