Create 8GB qcow2 image with qemu-img 2. Boot KVM with hrev45480 gcc2h anyboot as virtual CD and 8GB qcow2 as HDD 3. Run DriveSetup, and initialize HDD with Intel or GUID Partition Map 4.

I attempted to blank the MBR with dd to clear out whatever might have been causing the problem (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk/atapi/1/raw bs=512 count=1), but the return message from dd said that it wrote 0 bytes. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9657> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
