Haiku build with custom boot flag

Hello,

I am trying to boot Haiku on macbookpro and of course stuck on the rocket image on boot. Guessing it’s because of unsupported graphics, but the thing is i cannot reach Haiku boot menu- to enable fail-safe graphics mode. Tried everything Shift, Spacebar, Esc, other keys, but with no luck.

My question/request is this - maybe it’s possible to find somewhere haiku nightly build with enabled fail-safe graphics driver?

you can mount the USB partition and apply the tip from the user guide:

You can configure Haiku to always boot using the fail-safe video driver by enabling ‘fail_safe_video_mode’ in ~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel

That would be a solution, but how to mount BeFS from Linux with RW support. Tried: $ sudo hdparm -r0 /dev/sdc1

/dev/sdc1:
setting readonly to 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)

and then sudo mount -rw /dev/sdc1 /mnt but still dmesg output:
[ 523.204569] befs: (sdc1): No write support. Marking filesystem read-only

The linux driver doesn’t want to write to bfs. It’s not a permission problem.

Boot it in a VM and add the file there?

You can also use bfs_shell or FUSE, but I guess you are not ready to build them yourself.
