the title pretty much says it all but i will explain better. Simply enough i don’t know how to install haiku since every time i try to install the bootmanager i get an error and at boot the haiku bootman find no bootable partition. Correctly installed haiku sometime ago but decided to return back to fedora workstation so i wiped haiku, then i tried to install it back but with no luck.
Can someone explain me step by step how to install haiku to check my steps are ok?
so these are my steps considering i already have an os installed on the disk
1 open the partition manager
2 format the disk
3 initiate a new partition table
4 allocate all the space and format it in bfs
5 close the partition manager and select the hdd now formatted for haiku, then press install
6 the sistem is installed and so the boot sector, so i can install the haiku bootmanager
in this phase anyway i always get the message that bootman installation encountered an error and if i want to continue or not, but anyway i can’t boot haiku due to no bootable partition found…
at the end i was able to properly install haiku…here’s what i’ve done
1 start installer
2 went to partion manager and delete the old partition
3 create a new partition table then allocate the space
4 reboot
5 start installer again
6 format the new partition as bfs
7 install haiku and then the bootmanager
This should be it’s own thread. You responded to a year old thread.
I’m pretty sure BootManager doesn’t work with uefi. It only works with MBR. Use grub for dual booting UEFI mode. You don’t absolutely need to run BootManager or makebootable to install Haiku. Installer makes haiku bootable by default.
You’re not wrong. You can indeed boot Haiku with EFI via GPT. You just can’t use BootManager yet to do so. You hijacked a thread involving BootManager. Hence why I mentioned the importance of starting a fresh thread with all the details of your specific question. Not to mention the thread was last commented on nearly a year ago. Good netiquette is starting a new thread.
