I have two harddisks in my P3 system…
The primarly device is used by Windows.
The secondary device is divided in two partitions…
One for Windows and the other extended one for Haiku…
If i try to run bootman. I cannot write the MBR for Haiku,
because I have two identical partition tables.
Same problem if i try BeOs Max or Zeta… same problem…
…how to change the partition tables so I can get the Haiku bootloader?
bootman only looks at the first hard disk. It installs the mbr on the first hard disk and will allow you to chainload any partition on that disk. Currently the HAIKU bootman will not allow you to boot a partition on the second hard disk.
I cannot install the MBR on that eighter… because of the identical partition Table.
I will have to do a screenshoot of the alert window…
yes, provide screenshot so we can see what is going on.
One solution is to disconnect one of the drives from the computer ( just the data connector ). That should allow bootman to install.
If it still doesn’t install with one drive disconnected, then you may have some type of bug.
