Cannot install beta2 on PC circa 2008

Help

I downloaded the newly released beta2 x86(x32) and burned to a DVD.

I tried to boot from external DVD but failed.

It’s trying to look for floppy disk (FD), although I have disabled them

and hangs…

Can you see Haiku boot icons? If yes try to boot into safe mode so you can disable some drivers.

Did you try waiting? The very first time I installed Beta1 on my System76 it took over a minute for the mouse to start to work. From then on and including Beta2 the mouse worked fine from startup.

Yes. Waiting for hours. NO response.

I compared it with another installation.
With QEMU/KVM, it was successful.
