Sounds like a lot of background work has been done.

Is the i2c driver in the nightlies, and is it coming to beta5?

waddlesplash reworked the “IA32 BIOS” bootloader to report the ACPI root pointer (same as the EFI bootloader), and to always use this in ACPI initialization rather than trying to re-find it.

I have a question for that, it’ll be minor question. would it help any 32-bit efi user to identify the problem? Like how bootloader take too long to booting until reach desktop/userspace on bootia32 (Or, can it add support for baytrail/cherrytrail user to boot 64 bit haiku with bootia32?).

I doubt it would fix any “takes too long to boot” problems, and it definitely doesn’t affect 32-bit/64-bit mixed EFI/kernel support at all.
