hrev45189, gcc2.
I hadn't run Haiku for a while and was surprised to see the
ReadOnlyBootPrompt appearing when booting a vmware image or an image built
straight to a partition. A quick search led me to #8945 and hrev45185.
1) The ReadOnlyBootPrompt sports two confusingly labeled buttons; 'Run
Installer' and 'Desktop (Live-CD)', neither of which seems an appropriate
choice for the use cases in question. A single 'Continue' button would be
preferable, although just relabeling the second one e.g. 'Boot to desktop'
might work too.
2) There is now an Installer icon on my desktop, looking a bit
superfluous/unpurposed/déplacé.
3) 'ReadOnlyBootPrompt' seems to have become a misnomer, perhaps it should
now be renamed.
